I lost an NTFS partition on a 2 hard drive machine, at least I lost the
entry to it in the partition table. I had a hard time recovering it with
the Windows tech doc on repairing a corrupt partition table. Enter Linux,
and a great little utility called gpart (the "g" stands for "guess"). I
booted to Linux, compiled the code and ran it. What it does is check your
local hard drive and make guesses on what each partition is. If you are
comfortable with its choices, you can write the info to the partition table.
It's free and I found it on freshmeat.
Good luck and let me know how you make out.
