re-create the original partition table, which is just a map, as long as you haven't formatted or overwritten data everything should still be there

Also suggest if your not already doing it set your LVm partitons to type 8e so it's obvious they are LVM

[root@dc1-mysql001b:~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdc

Thanx Nate, I didn't know if this could damage the data or not, but it seems that I could get the data of the HDD :)

The partitions (there's 4 of them) was still mounted on the sever ( I didn't even think to check this before I sent-off this email) and I could recover the data through the mounts.
