[ale] any easy way to recover deleted partitions and their contents from HD ?

[James P. Kinney III]

1. Really current backups.
2. The exact partition configuration before the Oops.
3. Luck that nothing was done other than take a 2 (or higher) partition
drive and change it to a 1 partition drive. 

Using the data from #2, fdisk the drive and remake the partitions back
the way they were. DO NOT USE THE DOS FDISK!! The Linux fdisk is rather
gentle and will only write the partition markers.

It might work to dd the drive to a file and try mounting the file using
-o loop. 

If it was a 1 partition drive that was borked into a multi-partition
drive, the data that was at what is now partition boundaries is lost.
