One program I did not see talked about is testdisk. It is designed
to find deleted partitions. I have not needed to use it for real,
but I have deliberately messed up a partition table to see how well
it works. It does a great job on drives that have only been
partitioned and formatted once. If you have had different
partitioning sachems, you may have to pick out the correct
partitions from a list of partitions it finds. But it usually isn't
too hard.
