Soalris partition issues

I have blown up Solaris partition on my laptop by mistake. I had
Solaris 10, Belenix, Mepis and Windows XP on my laptop. By mistake,
Solaris partition was deleted. When I tried to recover it with 'parted'
in Mepis, it searched a partiion of very small size and named it Linux
swap / Solaris poartition. It was never recovered. I tried to hack mbr
and partition tables with the help from Moinak, Pavan and Shesha but we
couldn't do much as all vtoc entries from deleted partitions were gone.

I googled and found a couple of software for Windows that can recover
the Solaris partitions. I could see Solaris partitions but that wasn't
of much use ... I didn't see much files to be recoverd. It was a hard
but good learning session about mbr and partition tables with multiple
Oses.
