Not gparted, gpart: http://www.brzitwa.de/mb/gpart/index.html "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." If you fail, and still want to resurrect specific files, you can also try MagicRescue: http://www.itu.dk/people/jobr/magicrescue/ -- Didi _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
