I made a BIG mistake. Assuming that fdisk -l partition numbers and parted partition numbers would be identical, I happily deleted two of my disk partitions. One of them was the wrong one. Here's how my partition table USED to look: Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 3074.941 primary ntfs boot 2 3074.941 14692.258 primary ext3 4 14692.258 43974.799 extended lba 5 14700.103 22967.929 logical fat32 lba 6 22967.960 23101.281 logical linux-swap 7 23101.312 28223.569 logical fat32 8 28223.600 43974.799 logical fat32 and here's what it looks like now: Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 3074.941 primary ntfs boot 2 3074.941 14692.258 primary ext3 4 14692.258 43974.799 extended lba 5 14700.103 22967.929 logical fat32 lba 6 22967.960 23101.281 logical linux-swap 7 23101.312 28223.569 logical fat32 lba I managed to rescue partition 7 using parted rescue, however that partition was empty to begin with. The one that I REALLY need is 8, and it doesn't seem to want to come back. This is exactly what I've done since deleting the partition: resized 4 to 12692.258 - 23101.281 resized 4 to 12692.258 - 43974.799 rescued 7 Since parted won't rescue it for me, how do I go about rescuing it myself? Are there any tools that can do the job? TIA. -Alex
