Good time of the day. I've got my partitions lost on a disk that works through SATA-USB controller - and think it is the culprit.
# fdisk /dev/sdb Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x4759c362. Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable. Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders, total 156301488 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x4759c362 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System Command (m for help): q I think to recover it w/ this algorithm: . repartition it w/ the same numbers of start/end of partitions; . try to recover the FSs using super block. My question is is there a tool/way that can gather info from the disk where are those start/end s of partitions - as I of course do not remember its numbers? But I remember the first was about 4.1 GB (being made w/ dd to put a bootable iso to it, here, I can try to calculate the exact number from the iso size but I do not know what the formula is: iso_bytes -> cylinder numbers) and another - the rest of HDD.
