hi
u can use testdisk to salvage lost partition tables.
It is available for dos as well as linux (I have it on
my windows rescue boot floppy). It is pretty good. As
usual, do a google search.

partitionsYeah.. I did pull that stunt once. Delete the

How did u guys actually do this ?, i mean
elucidate.I really luv
all this system stuff. Must tell u , i once lost all
my partions
b'coz stupid (rather stupid me) Norton told me the
boot record
changed ...something . I pressed yes shutdown my
comp. The next
day i boot my comp to find only the c drive.
This was about 2 yrs back and it had been only 6
monce since i
bought my first comp and been so near to any comp
for that matter.
I was terrified ( all my sister's project files were
in the other
partitions) yet felt adventurous, learnt how 2 use
fdisk and
recreated the partitions but the data were lost for
ever.
I know dd is a cool program - it copies from the
disk sectors.
Please tell me how ta handle if such situation
accurs. Iam
particularly interested in retreival using "DD"
Thanx in advance
Linux luvr
Harris
