I haven't used gpart, or parted for this job, but have successfully used testdisk. I think I ran it either from a CD, or a floppy and it was able to find the last few partition tables that I had set up on that disk. I chose the desired partition table (it was the most recent) and off it went from there. I have to say I was well impressed with it. Must have application. :) Good luck. (PS. [OT slightly] Don't mean to start another flamewar about the pro's & con's, but would this sort of recovery work the same with a LVM? I would assume that it would, because the LVM is sort of a superstructure, but I do not know how the conventional partition table relates to the LV tables.) -- Regards, Mick
