if you have the exact geometry of the partition you may be able to re-create it. I would say live & learn, reinstall and next time do a backup. I did the exact same thing back in 95 or 96 when I first started playing with slackware..it's painful but its a good lesson. recovering such data is quite complex, and I've never lost data that was so important that I was willing to spend thousands of dollars or dozens of hours of time trying to reconstruct bit by bit .. I wouldn't be suprised if this was a common thing :) all the more reason not to dual boot on the same disk(or even dual boot at all) I suppose. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
