Oooh! Nice little fdisk tutorial. I'm marking that. The blogger also
has an accompanying page to supplement the other

missed was how to actually find which device to restore / format. -
Hence I decided to write a new little 2 step "how to" that will teach
you just that."

Maybe,and that's a big maybe, TestDisk.

TestDisk can

* Fix partition table, recover deleted partition
* Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup
* Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector
* Fix FAT tables
* Rebuild NTFS boot sector
* Recover NTFS boot sector from its backup
* Fix MFT using MFT mirror
* Locate ext2/ext3 Backup SuperBlock
* Undelete files from FAT, NTFS and ext2 filesystem
* Copy files from deleted FAT, NTFS and ext2/ext3 partitions.
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

I think it's time to get out the jelly cause you've probably got a small
piece of toast on your hands though.
