though I lost one partition(and some important data). Its unbelievably good that it uses some way of determining the start and end address of filesystems in partitions and rebuilds the partition table almost perfectly.
If you want to recover data from a fat partition and your partition table has gone kaput, then use PC Inspector's 'File Recovery' software. It is free and very good in recovering files that have not been overwritten after a partition table crash. Try it out, you may just manage to recover your files even in your newly created partitions. ;)
