I know of a great program that may come in handy for someone this sunday, sunday, some day. I deleted all my partitions on my system once, thinking I was working on drive 2 in the computer, but it was drive 1. Boy was I unhappy.. One thing that might be helpful to have before something like this happens is a printout of fdisk -l saved to a file or even printed on a printer. You can use fdisk from a recovery cd or floppy to rebuild your system this way. I didn't have this though so I started looking around for anything that could help.. I found gpart http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/user/76201/gpart/.
I booted to a recovery cd, downloaded gpart and voila! It found where all my partitions used to be and wrote them back to the disk. Linux booted right back up with no problems. ?indows wouldn't boot for some reason, but all my data was intact. Anyway, great program.. Hope it can help someone out..
