lost partition
Hello,
I was not enough careful during the upgrade to fedora 12 what caused that the new partition table (installer's default) was generated, which is of course completely different than I had before. I stopped the installation, but don't know if there is a way to recover data from the disk? The best solution would be to recover the old partition table (or at least the old partition with /home directory where I have a lot of important data). Is there any hope for me?
Thx for any suggestions!

The best tool that I know of for recovering the partition table is TestDisk:
TestDisk - CGSecurity
You can find it on the Parted Magic LiveCD and other live disks.
Good documentation for using TestDisk is available on their own website.oz
