Nothing theoretical about it. If all you did was repartition all you did was write a new partition table to the MBR. The data was not touched.

Back up the disk with dd before you start (if possible). -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
