while I was installing gentoo, I made my ubuntu partition (ext3) into JFS
Is there any method that can recover my ubuntu partition with the original data inside
I want to try TestDisk, but I am afraid of making it worse.
Do anyone have similar experience?
any idea would be useful, thanks a lot
PS, I use "mkfs.jfs" to change the filesystem of ubuntu filesystem to JFS

So you have 'formatted' the partition.

well... guess it's too late to say anything
TestDisk works on disk image directly, so you should just dump the entire disk to an image file (to another hard disk of cos!), and run TestDisk on the image file.
just don't touch/write to your corrupted partition...
good luck

yes, I erase whole partition table and maybe all data
BTW gentoo is really difficult to install...especially with GRUB.
I have install it 3 times
and none of them works 1st time, I used "installer" to install, but forgot to setup internet interface
gdm fail to operate
2nd time, I almost folllow all step in the handbook, but end up with
kernel panic, cannot find any filesystem to mount
3nd time, try "installer" again, GRUB setup fail
Error 2 in stage2

I am using "dd" to making the image, hope that I can recover some important files.
Also, I am looking for some information for the recover in google
After this event, I learn
1. Double check for everyting
2. Backup everything when making a BIG change
3. Use ubuntu as you linux desktop
My whole weekends were killed by gentoo, I swear I must master gentoo in one day
Thank you very much for every opinion given

When you face a problem in Gentoo, remember to go to their forum and search. I suppose you are not compiling your own kernel?
forget to load module on startup:
edit /etc/modules.conf
gdm fail:
edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
grub not installed:
edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
run grub-install /dev/sda
kernel panic:
edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
You don't need to start all over again when you have problems.
