Couple of other questions and situation update:
- there were not writes to the disk - this is good I think
- the original disk division was 120GB (NTFS) and 40GB (FAT32) - the fat was
the first one
- and now the sizes are different (the first one around 30GB and the rest)
- is the photorec able to search data in this partition table corruption level?
- I'm going to buy ne disk and to make dd of the corrupted one

Thanks a lot

     Pat
