> The first error I got was from the 'FreeBSD Boot Manager'. It started as =
normally and displayed 'F? FreeBSD', but as I struck 'enter' I got a 'boot =
failed' message. Then I rebooted the machine again and started getting 'No =
operating system found' messages. I thought that maybe the boot record had =
been damaged so I booted the FreeBSD 4.6-install CD and opened fdisk - all =
space unused, no partitions found. No sign of my data at all!

Get your disk back from Dell.
Then try testdisk or gpart.
