Yup ... fully endorsed. It is not a bad idea to keep a copy of the "fdisk -l" output in one's rescue disk set ... manual resetting is probably the only way out, provided there has been no overwriting. > > I assume you have not created any partitions on top of that.

He has deleted a FAT32 and created two partitions (Type83 and Type a5 partitions in its place). I am not sure he would be able to retrieve this manually as well even if exact boundaries are know.
