If you just want to confirm that some data is still there, you might try something like:

1) Boot from any Linux live CD (knoppix, Fedora 7, etc.).
2) Open a command window.
3) Assuming this is the only hard drive and it's /dev/hda:

dd if=/dev/hda | grep 'some *short* string that should be present'

4) If your string survived, you should see something like "binary file matches'.

I wonder how difficult it would be to recognize a BR? Each logical
volume (nothing to do with LVM) should have a BR on its first
sector.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
