Re: ext3 partition recovery (Again)
Hi there,
Your fdisk doesn't show the last ext3 partition, therefore your partition
table is messed up (nothing new in that). Gpart seems to think that there're
two other partitions apart from the ones being detected by fdisk i.e. one
partition more than what you suggested in your earlier mail where in you said
My partition looks (used to...) like this:

Gpart thinks that beyond the last ext3 partition there's another Linux
Partition?? Could you tell me the sizes of each partition as you remember
them. Do you think there was another partition beyond the last /ext3
partition that you've mentioned above.
