Unfortunately, I do *not* remember the original partition settings. I was hoping to find a live CD that could fix such disasters (i.e. systemrescueCD, or some such thing). I did find a Windows based program that's supposed to do the trick. 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: http://www.stellarinfo.com/linux-data-recovery.htm I'm sure there must be an open source trick somewhere that should work though.
