Can someone please help by pointing my in the right direction to help
myself.  I deleted the disklabel on my drive.  I was able to add the
root partition back in.  I have written down the sizes I thought the
drives were in Meg.  I can't get the starting point of the user
partition right.

Is it possible to do a read of the disk in the range I believe it starts
on looking for the SuperBlock?  I really would like to the some of the
data back I lost.  The funny thing is I lost it getting ready to backup
up the data.

I know mount checks and see that there is not a valid super-block.  How
does it do it?  Can I exploit it to search for the super block?

All help will be greatly appreciated.
