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..

Later,

Bob
