Something else to keep in mind, is that you should bit-copy the entire disc and only do testing on the copy. Use gnu ddrescue, dd_rescue, or whatever. But image the entire disk and then play with the image. This is a good looking reference for some of the issue you might run into: http://aplawrence.com/Linux/scolindiff.html And it might simply explain where the data went, the divvy partion structure got corrupted somehow. Total gues though...
