    [SOLVED] GParted srewed my partitions Urgent help please

    Hey guys, I was moving and resizing my Ubuntu partition and for some reason my hard drive stopped reading and royally screwed my partitions up.

    I know there is a command line tool in linux where you can view what partitions could be there and choose to ressurect them etc. but i cant remember what its called..

    does anyone know of the tool that will help me with this?

    Execute fdisk -l to check partition structure.

    I would suggest you not to write anything or change partition structure again. Use Testdisk to recover partitions. Its available in PartedMagic LiveCD/USB. Its really easy to recover partition table using testdisk.


    * Its small L in fdisk -l.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Dont worry, I found it.

    The tool is called "teskdisk", something I owe all my data to twice over :P

    Thank hell GParted does a read-only move first

    @devils casper Thanks for the quick reply I found testdisk in synaptic and restored my partitions just before you replied, thanks anyway
