I accidentally deleted one of my ext3 partitions from Windows XP. However, since I did not make new partitions over it, or format that area, I guess my data is safe. So I made a new partition with the same cylinder boundary values using fdisk (in Linux). But I cannot access my old data on that partition [on Linux I'm not able to mount it]. How do i recover my data? (the data is important to me) Pls help.

[Here's how I lost my partition, if that info will be of any use. I use a control panel extension called IFS Drives in WinXP to access my ext3 partitions. I used the Hard disk management on Windows to delete a FAT
partition, without unmounting my ext3 partitions. After deleting the FAT
partition, one of my ext3 partitions was gone too! I tried changing the partition type id of the newly salvaged partition to 7 (which is the ID of NTFS partitions) to see whether I could access the partition on Windows at least that way. But then Windows says the partition is unformatted, and asks me whether I want to partition it.]

Thanks in advance.
