Restoring data from disk w/ messed up partition tables

["Joshua Gimer" <jgimer (at) gmail.com>]

Whenever you did linux rescue did you do chroot /mnt/sysimage. I am not
sure if this would cause problems, the only reason I ask is becuase if
root isn't set to /mnt/sysimage and it is trying to look in /etc/fstab
it should be looking in /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab; this might cause the
disk not to mount. This could be a simple grub issue, let me know.

The evaluation edition lets you see if it can see your lost data; you have to buy it ($79) to actually be able to recover the data. This was at:
