Hi Neil,
If all RH did was repartition (without mkfs) then you can get the old
partitions back if you know their location on the disks. Even if you
don't know it should be possible to scan the disk for the original
superblock.
If the install proceeded to mkfs, I doubt if there's any way of
getting the data back. You could get individual sectors back, but
it'll be impossible to reconstruct the original filesystem.
You can call me 9811066460 if you want to.
Regards,
