    My boot loader wansn't working properly and i didn't find my 5.2.1
    install cd, so i grabbed 4.4(or is that 4.6) install cd, and chose fdisk,
    marked the freebsd partition bootable(S), and wrote changes.

    I didn't notice that it had made my about 150GB partition as
    100GB(ad0s3) and 60GB(unused) partitions.

    After that i haven't touched the partitions, so it should be possible to
    retrieve the data.

    I had one slice on that partition and i think it is dirty, i accidently
    pressed the reset instead of the power button.

    So i heard in #freebsdhelp@EFnet that i could retrieve the data on that
    partition by modifying the partition table(like the beginning and the
    end of the partition).
    I dont know any probrams that could do this, how to use them or what to
    change.

    Here is some information about my HD:
    -200GB maxtor

    Offset Size(MB) End Name PType Desc Subtype
    Flags
            0 0 62 - 12 unused 0
           63 20473 41929649 ad0s1 8 freebsd
    165 41929650 10236 62894474 ad0s2 7
    fat 12
     62894475 100361 268435454 ad0s3 8 freebsd 165
    268435455 63409 398297087 - 12 unused 0

    And please, answer me. this is rather important. I'll answer any
    questions as soon as i can.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
