I suggest consulting the HD experts...PowerQuest (www.powerquest.com). They have a ton of products...I think Partition Magic might have the capability to fix the partition table. I hope you are able to fix it, Matt

To: "suse-linux-e@suse.com" Subject: [SLE] Urgent help needed - Data Recovery Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2000 10:50:15 +0000 (UTC) Hi people.
I believe a Win virus did some serious damage to my drive. I used to have around 10 logical linux partitions, now they're all gone (after using Win98).
The primary partition (/dev/hda1) is still there. The extended partition is still there (no logicals now).
What I don't have is a rescue disk.
What I do have are the start and end cylinder values for each partition, the size of them, the device they're associated with, their mount points, and inode densities.
The data is still there (I feel) - but the partition table is corrupt.
Any way of fixing it?? (I remeber on a previous occasion, I tried using fdisk to recreate the partitions, using the start and end cylinder values I had - and it partially worked.. should I try this again??)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Jason.
