well last week I adjusted (resized) partitions of my external harddisk by gparted. during the processing, the damn gnome3 crashed. I cannot see the partition any more.

I have still one windows machine(winxp), and tried finalData2.0. after about 30 hours scan/recovering, my 120G data in that partition were back. only 2-3 files lost.
hope this experience is useful 4 u. btw, I didn't write any data to that disk after the problem happened.

Syntax
       #include <disktab.h>

Description
       The file is a simple data base that describes disk geometries and disk partition characteristics.  The format is patterned after the termi-
       nal data base.  Entries in consist of a number of fields separated by colons (:).  The first entry for each disk gives the names  that  are
       known for the disk, separated by vertical bars (|).  The last name given should be a long name fully identifying the disk.

       Name Type Description
       ns   num  Number of sectors per track
       nt   num  Number of tracks per cylinder
       nc   num  Total number of cylinders on the disk

       fh   num  Fragment size for partition `h' (bytes)
       pa   num  Size of partition `a' in sectors
       pb   num  Size of partition `b' in sectors
       pc   num  Size of partition `c' in sectors
       pd   num  Size of partition `d' in sectors
