testdisk (included in rescue cd) is also good for recovering deleted partitions or lost partitions as it happened to me a couple of days ago. One of my engineer's desktop would not boot - all partitions were lost. fdisk -l showed no partition table. With test disk I was able to recover the partitions. re-install grub (again using rescue cd) and boot the system. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
