Think i've killed my usb flash partitions



Debian was running fine on my nslu2 until I added noatime to my fstab and rebooted and now it doesn't boot.

when I inserted the usb flash into another linux machine I get

Sep 2 17:21:07 homebox kernel: [ 2676.694615] sde: unknown partition table

and fdisk shows

Disk /dev/sde: 15.7 GB, 15724707840 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 14996 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xd2231a30

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

Command (m for help):

I also tried

mount /dev/sde /mnt/usbstick
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

So where have my partitions gone? I REALLY need to get a single file off the / partition.
