    Invalid partition - please help

    I'm using Suse 10.2 and RAID5 on a MegaRAID 300-8X.
    Recently I did some work on my computer and ended up moving some of my disks (which contained the RAID) to different ports of the controller. The RAID card supports drive roaming so the data should not have been destroyed.. or so I thought.

    I booted into Suse (OS disk not part of the RAID) and tried mounting the RAID drive but I got an "invalid partition table". I rebooted and looked in my RAID card BIOS but it indicated that all drives were online. I tried putting the disks back to where they were originally and also ran a consistency check but found no errors. The OS still detects the RAID disk as before and indicates that the partition table is invalid.

    I am very new to Linux so I don't really know what I should try.. Can some one please help me? Also would anyone know how I could have lost the partition? I don't think the RAID card is bad.

    Thanks.

    Edit: Just tried the recover partition option from the install DVD. Partition could not be recovered...
