If i give the following command in Ubuntu live cd it shows: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x8f800000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ i m very sad, please help to recover my partions.
