Hello folks.
i am using slackware linux(2.6.14 with reiser4 patch) on x86_64 and
was trying to install free_bsd on a separate partition.
well, during that instalation , accedentualy i have pressed a wrong
key , so my partition table is owerriten by something else , but i
realized this streight away and stopped the instalation process .
so in fac rigth now i ve got around 200GiB of data , all mushed
up . there were 11 linux partitions without raid.
many of thoes were reiserfs and reiser4.
I have located Reiser3 partitions after overwriting a partition
table. I imagine Reiser4 would be similar.
The method I used is described here: http://slashdot.org/~toby/

Once you have starting sector locations, you can write a new
partition table.
Tedious but it will work.

i have found on some linux distro's mailing list that the boot
sector's backup made by the LILO should contain the table . i'm not
100% sure of that , but i believe it must do .
so basicaly i have this backup file, but it exists somewhere in
betweent all that mess on my drive .
now the question is how to recover that file ?
obviously i have tried gpart , wich was updated last time back in
1999 , so could find only my swap part'ion :)
i also read about magicrescue on this list's archive ..but the
file i need seems to be binary and i'm still not sure dies it
contain the table or just the LILO code .
Can anybody help please , because i think that this 99.(9)%
recoveriable !
.
thank you anyway.!
