FAT32 Partition GONE HELP!!
«

Here's the story, I was trying to setup a triple boot with RH, MDK, and win2k, I had win 2k and RH installed and was working on MDK (all oh hda, 40GB). After successfully installing MDK I booted into it and tried to add my fat32 partition on my second hard drive to the automount so I could access my files, but it kept giving me errors so I checked the partition table out for the second drive and it now has 3 partitions of ext3 on it /boot, /, and swapspace, instead of being all one fat32 partition. Is there anyway to recover this drive? I had nearly 9 GB of programs on it and would really like to get them back if possible I found
THIS RECOVERY AID
by Googling but I am not sure how it will work for me? Any suggestions or am I screwed?

No problem, as long as you
backed up your data
before you installed.
Didn't do that? Shame, shame, shame. In that case, I have no idea but I do know it's usally very hard to get back a partition, especially if you wrote over it with other stuff.

Well thanks for the cynicism, but that
was
my
"BACK UP"
. I had all my files on that hard drive (formatted to fat32) and my OSs on the primary. I didn't think I would fuck up and install it on the wrong HD and was not aware of anyway to back up files other than burning them to disk (9GB. . .NO) but mistakes happen. guess I'm SOL, thanks for the reply anyway.
