Doubt it, as the problem doesn't seem to be recognising the whole
disk, 4 parts appear under /dev/discs/disc1/ as expected. I was also
able to mount all the partitions in knoppix. An error arises when
parted (or cfdisk) try to read the partition table, and die when
they think there is a partition after the end of the disk.
With parted -s /dev/discs/disc1/disc print I get the message:
"Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk"
With cfdisk, doing the same thing, I get:
"FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 3: Partition begins
after end-of-disk"
