Recovering will be really hard think, if you do not know the exact |
| 13 |
numbers there, it is probably impossible. |

But you may be lucky and nothing wrote to the data part. In that case, |
| 16 |
it should be relatively easy to save the first partition of the two. |
| 17 |
Grab fdisk (the unix one is probably better, it does exactly what you |
| 18 |
tell it to do and has better help) and create a single partition over |
| 19 |
the whole disk, then mount it read-only (so nothing can get corrupted, |
| 20 |
if you do something wrong). You should be able to get the data from |
| 21 |
there. |

I wish you luck |
