As always, a good friend of mine managed to scratch my partion table

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?
You have gotten a bunch of thoughts on this, I will just say that plain
old "fdisk -l" saved somewhere safe is probably all you need, in human
readable format. Doesn't do you any good now, but all the complicated
schemes discussed don't thrill me, I want to be able to see this, and
recovery by partition table manual rebuild is so rare I would rather do
it by hand than trust some software I rarely use.
ACK. Or NNAK (Non-NAK) at least...
