Try this: | gpart - Guess PC-type hard disk partitions | | Gpart is a tool which tries to guess the primary partition table of a | PC-type hard disk in case the primary partition table in sector 0 is | damaged, incorrect or deleted. The guessed table can be written to a | file or device. Supported (guessable) filesystem or partition types: | | DOS/Windows FAT (FAT 12/16/32) | Linux ext2 | Linux swap partitions versions 0 and 1 (Linux v2.2.X) | OS/2 HPFS | Windows NTFS | *BSD disklabels | Solaris/x86 disklabels | Minix FS http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/user/76201/gpart/ HTH, Colin -- Colin Marquardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
