recovery partition table from fdisk?

I have two disks on a sun blade 100. I just installed a solaris8 on the first disk. The installation was successful. But the problem is now I lost all data / partition on my second hard disk.

The possible reason could be:
1. I used default web start install. During the installation I didn't select the disk2. so I am not sure if solaris 8 will automatically erase the whole partition table on all disks in the system.
2. I did something like:
fdisk /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s0 (the 2nd disk)
and answered 'yes' when it asked "type 'y' to accept the default partition. otherwise type 'n' to edit the partition table.

Now I guess 2 has caused the problem. and might have wiped out the partition table on the 2nd disk. Is there any way to recover it back? cuz the data are very important. I am a beginner in solaris. please offer your generous help here.

Thanks,
motor98
