That is not entirly true. Even after "corrupting" a partition table, you
can use Linux to read the disk still.
If the poster of the original message can, backup/copy everything to
tape/disk or whatever is available, and "re-do" the paritions. (How else did
they get Clinton's Email and stuff)
I would suggest a package like Image Magic by PowerQuest as it can create
images of the drives and put them back the way you want/need them to be.
