Sigh... partitioning almost destroys any chances of recovering
lost data. Partitioning with encryption REALLY destroys just about
ALL chances of recovering after a nasty crash.

When people come to me/Steve and ask if we can help them out, we
can only sigh and say, you shouldn't have partitioned your drive.
If anyone knows of a way to recover such things, let me know.
