How to recover corrupted partition table?

807559Jan 14 2008 — edited Nov 21 2008
I have a disk that somehow got the partition table corrupted. I am getting lots of "Bad Geometry" errors that state the label says one size while the drive says something different.

I have tried running the TestDisk (http://www.cgsecurity.org) application, and it seems to find the partitions just fine and I believe that my data is in tact. I just need to correct the partition table and access the UFS file system. The TestDisk reports that "write_part_sun" is not implemented, so it cannot correct the problem. I have checked the source code for the current and beta versions of the program and the function still has not been written.

Is there another application that I can use to rescue my corrupted partition table? I am not finding much support for Solaris out on the net.

Thanks.
