If all that happened, likely, is that the partition table got trashed,
there are ways to recover it with parted and have parted figure out or
guess what the partition should be. All it needs is a rough guess of
where the partition should begin and end.

The user in trouble seems to be a newbie. Using parted is not for
newbies. My suggestion is just a way to get him started. You might
also note that I suggested that there might be other alternatives to
this. All he needs is to get the partition table written properly,
assuming the drive is not actually toast. MS Computer management disk
tool can do this. It calls it "initializing the disk" Or something
like that. Debian can do it too, assuming that the user can sort out
the correct command.
