The stuff were buggy, so at the installation process something went wrong and the installer printed out a lot of error messages about partition table. After that all partitions dissapeared :P My friend got into panic and she start crying about her precious data. So I've told her to calm down and show me what was happened. Nex I've wrote down all that drive geometry informations printed out by the installer before it dies, and calculate the proper sizes. I've asked her if it's resembling her old partition set before installer actions and she confirmed, so I've just started fdisk and typed in all that geometry informations and restore all her partitions one by one. All data were back into their places again :) Conclusion: It's always good to chill out and analyze the situation instead of getting into panic, because fear may cover from you a solution of the problem ;) My friend once was trying to install Gentoo Linux using their new graphical installer.
