Checking partitions... Partition(Linux ext2 filesystem): primary Ok.
Guessed primary partition table: Primary partition(1) type: 131(0x83)(Linux ext2 filesystem) size: 50431mb #s(103284656) s(29799-103314454) chs: (29/9/1)-(1023/15/63)d (29/9/1)-(102494/7/62)r

Now gpart found something, however not the missing LVM PV i was hoping. Or atleast, I don't think so. I will google around to see how to make a 1 on 1 copy of this disk, and then try to write it. I'll report back. In the mean time, keep those ideas comming : )

When i do a less -f /dev/hde I can see a lot of data.
E.g. I see a string looking a lot like ReiserFS and scrolling down further I see /dev/vg00/<nameofparts created> so I'm sure a LOT is still there. I'll give it a shot. Any other ideas are still welcome!
So let gpart guess and re-install a partition record. Though, you'd better prepare a backup of that given HDD...
