As always, a good friend of mine managed to scratch my partion table by cat'ing /dev/full into /dev/sda. I was able to push him out of the way, but at least the first 100MB are gone. I can probably live without the first partion, but there are many partitions after that, which I hope should easily be recoverable.

I tried parted, but it's not working out for me. Does anybody know of a simple partition recovery tool, that would just scan the disk for lost partions?


Thanks!

One thing NetWare always did was to stamp a copy of the partition table at the time a partition was created as the second logical sector (offset 1) from the start of a newly created partition. This allowed the disk to be scanned for the original (or last) partition table copy.
