I have 500 GB HDD and 10 partition(ext3,reiserFS,ext4)
400 GB using
100 GB free space

I was wanting install FreeBSD to my desktop pc and yesterday i try to install.I created a 4GB partition for FreeBSD and try to install.I install FreeBSD to on 4GB.The installing successfully complated.After installing,i wanted to see that the partitons still exist with fdisk command (with ubuntu live cd), but I did not see the partitions.I saw only one FreeBSD partition.

Did data disappeared? How am i recovery my 400GB data?


Thank for helping.

At first you shouldn't have to recover any data if you have made the recommended backups.

To your problem, get a live-CD that has testdisk install, like RIP-Linux or SystemRescueCD, boot from that and use testdisk to search for your lost partitions. If testdisk isn't able to recover the partitions you can try it with photorec (part of testdisk), but this will recover files and not partitions. On a disk with 400GB data that will find millions of files with random names, so go for testdisk first.

Thanks for reply TobiSGD.I am starting to download RIP-Linux.I will try firstly the RIP-Linux.I hope this solve partition problem.
