"fdisk -l /dev/hdc" is much safer run from the command prompt.
That way you never enter fdisk in interactive mode so you are
sure no changes will be made.
If fdisk -l returns no partitions then he's toast. Recovery will be
a very long painful process. With the basic partition tables wiped
out there is a good chance the rest of the data was wiped out. But
if not he'll have a several day job finding various root inodes and
trying to figure out what they mean about the disk's proper partitioning.
I hope he had no critical data on that drive if his partition table
is blown.
{^_^} <- always prints out a run of "fdisk -l" for each drive.
But then, some call me paranoid. I call my self "too many
of 'those' tee-shirts, don't need anymore."
