Bonjour, I have FC1 installed on a drive together with win 2000. The partition table was: /dev/sda1 primary ntfs /dev/sda2 primary ntfs /dev/sda3 linux extended /dev/sda5 logical linux ext3 / /dev/sda6 logical linux /boot ..... other linux partition (swap, /tmp,.... /home) Someone has done something (I don't know what yet) under win that has corrupted the partition table: using linux rescue and fdisk, I can see now: /dev/sda1 ntfs (curiously beginning at cyl 2) /dev/sda2 ntfs /dev/sda3 linux extended /dev/sda5 : this partition is supposed to begin also on cyl 2, seems to have the same size as sda1 and is reported to be win 95 ext'ed.... Cannot see sda6..... Is there a way to recover the correct partition table? I know that I do not give much information, but is anyone gives me some tests to operate in order to get more informations and a way to restore the correct partition table?
