    Hi All,

    I've got a 1Gig IDE drive which has a FAT32 partition, a linux swap partition
    and an ext2 partition on it. Unfortunately, so far as the partition table is
    concerned the total size is over 90Gig!!

    Is there a program which would allow me to discover (or at least make a best
    guess at) the real partition geometry and use that info to read the FAT and
    ext2 partitions?

    Cheers

    Dylan
