'deleting' a partition just removes it from the table. I have 'detete'd and replaced a partition before, without any dammage to the data in it. As long as you didnt reformat it, or create a new filesystem, the data is still there. Do you know where and how big the lost partiton was? It may take some trial and error, unless you can search the raw disk for the partition header. I had to lose a lot of data before i got a decent backup system. I hope you are more lucky. -- Mike Holland <mike@golden.wattle.id.au> Perth, Australia.
