recovering hard disk partition info after boo-boo with using dd
I made a real booboo... I issued as root (really stupid of me, after
almost blasting my system away some 8 months ago) dd if=someimage
of=/dev/hd0 instead of /dev/fd0. So now the partition table is fouled up
(as cfdisk reports "bad primary partition 0; the partition ends before
sector 0") I fear that rebooting the box would make me unable to get its
contents again... is there a way to salvage the partition information
and clean it up?
I only have 1 IDE disk on this machine that I fouled up though... any
ideas how to go with this?
