Your not the only one. https://www.linux.com/learn/how-fix-mangled-partition-table-linux I really like this spin. http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/SystemRescueCd_Homepage Hope this helps.
The partition table is gone, but it used to contain 2 partitions, both of
them in an LVM, one of them part of an extended logical volume that added space to /home on my overburdened main drive. I haven't lost much data (just the first 700mb were overwritten), and amazingly my laptop continues to run just fine -- even though lvscan reports a missing drive, apparently the data is still findable.
I'd like to restore the partition table but I don't know where the
partition boundaries are, and in any case I don't know how to write a partition table (!). What tools should I use? Preferably without turning off my laptop, since I'm afraid it won't boot back up again!
