Was in fdisk to check the partition table before mounting.

Whilst exiting pressed w instead of q GRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so the partition table is written :rolleyes:

The table is the same as before but my data is gone. can anyone recommend me something for recovering the data ?

:mad:
 
If you have the partition table written back *exactly* i.e. same blocks for starts of partitions as it was then it should be readable and mountable again.
Also, you haven't altered the disk geometry settings inadvertently?

Thats what I would have thought but when mounting the disk the data is not there
 
gpart will fix it :)
It's a free opensource program that detects your partition layout by recognising where the filesystems start and end.

Here's the site :

Your best bet would probably be to boot a Linux live-cd, download that (its statically-linked, so should work on any distro) and give it a whirl.

It has saved my backside a few times
