Re: help!! my partition table is lost after a next reboot ...
Hello,
Yup did that for a pal once i.e. recover the partition. So long as u don't
play around too much, i.e. repartitioning or reinstalling, your data should
be valid.
Do you remember the approx sizes of all your partitions? Are the other
partitions intact? Do you remember the partition scheme for all your
partitions? their sizes? total size of your hard disk?
Gpart only works on primary partitions at the moment. Do you remember if your
partition was a primary one or logical? Even if it was logical we can still
recover it by hand using fdisk.
All said and done bottomline is that there will be some trial and error and
work involved......if u have backup of data on the partition then it'll
probably be better recovering from there.....otherwise is the data worth
recovering??
If you do wanna go ahead recovering then I'd recommend you make a copy of your
MBR as it stands right now (so you can backtrack) and then try using gpart.
If you need help then feel free to holler :)
Bye
