OK, let's go safe first. Before doing ANYTHING more make a partition table copy just in case it gets even worse: 1) Boot a linux (for example th rescue cd you have). 2) Insert a spare floppy disk 3) (As root) dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=64
Fine, so you have now a copy of your harddisk boot and table partition (the damaged one). Now let's start playing.... Write down in a paper sheet the guessed partitions and then run parted from the rescue linux: parted /dev/hda To see what you have rigth now type: print then remove every partition you have except 1 and 2 (Windows and extended one): rm minor_number where minor_number is the number in the first column of the partition to erase. When you are done, just create the new ones with guessed starts and ends: mkpart ext2/ext3/reiserfs/what-ever-you-had guessed_start guessed_stop mkpart linux-swap guessed_swap_start guessed_swap_stop To exit just type: quit To know more about parted type man parted or just type help inside parted.
