I had exactly the same experience on my Linux system, about half a year
ago. Fixing the partition table with fdisk, as people here said, will do
the trick. My disk, however, did loose about 10 megs of information.
These were the first ten megs of the first partition. Luckily, the first
partition was SWAP SPACE...nothing lost. Moral: Make swap space the first
partition ;-)
