for future reference the best partition recovery tool i have found was the Minix partition editor, it's part of the minix install program. lets you twiddle partitions without in any way messing with the data in the rest of the disk. windows once ate all 4 partitions on a disk and i was able to recover them with it. you sorta need to know the exact sizes of the partitions though.
