I use Debian Linux on a Dell Inspiron laptop and wanted to upgrade my bios. The Upgrade tool work only on Windows - so I had to delete 2 partitions and make 1 NTFS partition to be able to run bios upgrade tool. The data partition used to be sda4 - but after I removed the first 2 partitions and made only one, when I tried to reinstall Debian, I didn't realise that partition numbers changed after i removed NTFS partition and made a boot partition. Is there any method to retrieve the data back? The files are there... just need a scan tool to be able to retrieve them, is there any? Thank you Dacian
