I need to recover the partition information for a data recovery. From what I have read this information is summarized in the label information. I can manually reconstruct the first sector info with a sector editor if I can get the label information. Obviously the drive won't mount, label, etc. How can I get this information. Can you also tell me what part of the OS was lost if the first 50 or so sectors is lost. Is it only boot code or label information or superblock information? How is the disk layed out? Help!
