[FIXED] lost partition

[Guest]

Hi folks,

Did the following stupid thing: at the installation of the new Kubuntu 10.10, I accidentally clicked "Install" when the usage was for the entire disk.
The install process began and I immediately switched off the computer, still I had three partitions that I cannot find any more: a Windows one, a root partition for the former Kubuntu version and (most importantly), my home partition with all my files and folders.

I suspect those were not erased, rather the information about the partitions was lost somehow.
The million dollar question is: how to reverse this process?

Any hint is greatly appreciated...
Adrian

Re: lost partition

Here you can find some information about recovering partition table:

I had a similar problem a year ago (lost partitions). I think I used program testdisk. Boot up with liveCD and then install testdisk and run it in terminal. It should be able to find your lost partitions and draw new partition table.
