Is it possible to undelete partitions??

[samwyse]

Heeelp!!! I deleted my Linux partitions with fdisk (in Linux). I wanted to do a fresh install from CDs, but after I tried installing the cds seem to be faulty.

I guess I can live with Windows 98 till I get Linux working again.. and I lost some files too (I forgot to backup everything), but not really really important ones (luckily).

I'm just downloading some software which might help me, but I'm not sure if it will..


EDIT: Yes, it's possible I've just undeleted the partions with a utility called TestDisk. You can find it here, if you plan to wipe out your filesystem accidentally some day http://www.cgsecurity.org/

Oh how I wish I would have known about that program a while ago...

If my baby don't love me, I know, I know, her sister will.

Often you can simply re-edit the partition table and put it back the way it was, as long as you didn't format the drive.
