I had a similar problem not too long ago and used cfdisk to rebuild
the partition table; somehow it got messed up and cfdisk fixed it, via
using an Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD. Might be worth looking into for you. I
think it worked because Ubuntu recognized the partitions, so it was
able to rebuild the partition table based on sector locations of
partitions it recognized. Just a guess though, that's getting beyond
my realm of knowledge.
Thanks, Mark.
I won't rule this out but it seems that my partition table *might* be Ok
since both my sick system and Ubuntu both see the Partition as a "Linux"
partition. Hopefully someone will comment if my logic is weak.
