I did not recover yet, but I know what happened and I can give a warning about the microsoft partition tools: they allow, without any warning, to build two extended partitions on the same disk! There was two windows primary partitions on this disk and one linux extended one; someone, reinstalling windows, could format the first windows primary partition as an extended one and it is now impossible to read the partition table.... I don't know yet if I can recover with merely re-formating the windows partition as a primary one. -- François Patte Ecole française d'Extrême-Orient - Pune - Inde Université René Descartes - Paris 5 UFR de mathématiques et informatique http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte
