If you just deleted/overwrote the partition table without writing anything else, you can use gpart (not to be confused with gparted) to guess where the partitions are. Then you can use fdisk to reinstate those partitions. After that, cross your fingers and try and mount them. I would recommend that you back up the whole device with dd before you try any of the above. -- Bring choice back to your computer. http://www.linux.org.au/linux -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
