Unhappy lost partition


I have a laptop with a 37 GB hard disk. I have made 2 partitions (22GB and 15GB )using partition magic. I installed in the first one winxp and in the second suse 9.1 pro (reiserfs). I made a image of the win-partition using the image norton ghost 2003. Yesterday i tried to restore the win-partition. When i tried to boot in linux i realised that the lin-partition was lost. After that i booted in winxp. The whole hard disk is one partition (37 GB). Is there any way to restore the data? Is there any program that can restore data from a reiserfs partition?

It sounds like the ghost image was a 37gb image taken before you repartitioned?

I don't think there is a way to restore the data unless you took actions beforehand. If the data is still there, you could possibly restore the partition tables if you saved a copy, or reload the files if you have a backup (tar or dump, etc.)
