Tried OpenSuSE disk and "recover lost partiton" tool, it did something for over 2 hours, nothing seem to be happening, and I terminated the process (its on 500GB 7200rpm HD on fast Intel Quad Core PC). HD is very quiet and it is not clear if there any activity. I do not think there are bed sectors, it ususally results in clicks.
I don't know what "recover lost partiton" does, but if it is "gpart", it takes a long time. Very long, probably. What it does is guess where the partitions are really, exploring all sectors on the disk. If you only have primary partitions (sda1..4) then it should be faster. What you should have is a paper with the printed partition table. I like to get one before touching partitions.
May be I should boot from another HD? Probably parted cannot modify HD it is running from ???
That is so, I understand. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
