[YLUG] recovering partition table

[Arthur Clune]

John and Roger have already tried to explain why this is the wrong
thing to do, but you persist.

You MUST copy the ENTIRE disk to a physically separate one.

MUST.

And you must do this before you do anything else.

If you don't have another physical disk (a USB one will do), stop, and
wait until you have one. PC World is probably still open now. It'll
certainly be open tomorrow morning.

Anything else is assumes that you don't care about the data on the
disk. And if you don't, why are you bothering doing this?
