Collegues:

I have a dual boot Dell I7K with RH6.0 and Windows98.
8MB HD
I was transferring files between a zip drive and the Win side of the HD
and through either a corrupted disk, or bad zip file structure,
the transfer wrote over my master boot block. Levaing me unable to boot
anything.
I have been able to recreate part of my partition table (I remembered
the partition sizes)
and have recovered all of the Linux partition, completely intact.

Does anyone know of a low level Linux utility that can (will) search the
entire
HD and examine each cylinder for a "Windows" type fingerprint which
would give me a clue
as to the upper boundary of the Linux partition, and of course, the
beginning sectors for Windows98
and return the cylinder number of
its find?

My wholehearted thanks?

John Brockway
