I used gparted to delete a couple of partitions and create a new one, then 
created a new one at the end, in some unallocated space.  Everything looked 
fine, and it started the final scan - the whole disk is marked Unallocated, 
and fdisk -l doesn't see anything.  Tomorrow I'll try testdisk to see whether 
it is recoverable, but if fdisk can't see it I'm not hopeful.
