I have windows :( and Suse 5.3 :) on the same disk. I got a virus on the windows partition and I cleaned it with McAfee VirusScan. It happened that the virus was in the "partition table" and McAfee removed the partition table, and replaced it by one which contains only one DOS-16 partition. What can I do ? Is it possible to retrieve the old information of the partition table ?
It is possible, and it *can* be quite easy (although very nerve-wracking) to recover the partition table. However, in order to have a (relatively) easy life, you need to know the *exact* sizes of the partitions. You don't happen to know where the cylinder boundaries are for the partitions do you?
