[linux-lvm] Partition table gone? Any way to restore?

[oliver]

When i do a less -f /dev/hde I can see a lot of data.

E.g. I see a string looking a lot like ReiserFS and scrolling down 
further I see /dev/vg00/<nameofparts created> so I'm sure a LOT is still 
there. I'll give it a shot. Any other ideas are still welcome!
