You guys got me nervous there for a while. 280gb of data down the drain? Nope.
I solved my problem with cfdisk ( fdisk would probably have done aswell ), I took my chances and rewrote the partition table ( an empty one ), then pvcreate -ff and vgcfgrestore .. phew. Back online.
I hope someone can be helped with this solution.

As stated in a eariler message, I also tried this:
[root@mircosoft /mnt]# cp /etc/lvmconf/the_data.conf /etc/lvmtab.d/the_data
[root@mircosoft /mnt]# echo -ne "the_data\0" > /etc/lvmtab
[root@mircosoft /mnt]# vgchange -ay the_data
vgchange -- ERROR: physical volume "/dev/hdc" of volume group "the_data" is offline
vgchange -- run vgscan

This started out when I rebooted my machine. Prior to the reboot I ran fsck on the lvm-filesystem and got quite alot of errors.
My vg contains three hdds: hdc, hde and hdf.
----------------
[root@mircosoft /mnt]# vgscan
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
vgscan -- ERROR "vg_read_with_pv_and_lv(): current PV" can't get data of volume group "the_data" from physical volume(s)
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created
vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group
-----------------
This error I've seen quite a few times in this list, however, as many replies are suggesting - running "pvcreate -ff" - does not help.
Why?
-------------- [root@mircosoft /mnt]# pvcreate -ff /dev/hdc pvcreate -- device "/dev/hdc" has a partition table ---------------
And, to my surprise, dmesg, reports that hdc has a hdc1 (not that I can remember ever creating one... ), but anyway, how can I bypass this?
Some extras:
[root@mircosoft /mnt]# pvdisplay /dev/hdc pvdisplay -- no physical volume identifier on "/dev/hdc"
(But it works fine on hde and hdf).
Im very grateful for any help!
--grazzy.
