i accidentally reset a mbr using mbrwork. but was in a wrong disk and this disk has important documents. is there any way i could recover the data or the mbr?? this disk was a single partition hdb1, using ext3, 80gb capacity. please!! i would apprecuiate it!
If it was just the master boot record, you can boot up with a good linux boot disk (something like tomsrtbt), mounting your hard drive, chroot'ing to it, and re-running lilo (or grub, whichever you use).
However, if you also took out the partition table, you're out of luck =/
