Hi

While re-installing my system from a kickstart server, and before we
discovered the "--ondisk hda" option, I had 2 disks: One with the a
linux OS on it, which I was happy to waste.  The other (hdb) with my
data on it, which I wanted to keep.

kickstart (btw is there any good documentation on the kickstart
process), in its infinite wisdom, decided to trash my partition table
on hdb, despite me disabling the drive in the BIOS (I knew I shouldn't
trust the BIOS).  I know the disk had 3 (real) partitions, but I have
little clue of where exactly they started or ended.  I presume, since
no partitions were made on hdb, that my data is still on the disk,
intact.  However I have need of a tool which can find it!!

Any suggestions ......

Ciao
Kevin

PS.  Please don't suggest I restore from backup :-(
