So, what happened? You tried to mount the drive under Linux and it got screwed up? Or, did you try to put Linux on it and it got screwed up?
Either way, I think WinUAE is your only option for recovery now. First, make a backup of your backup image. Get a working UAE environment and then add the backup image as another HDD. ›
In the former case, it sounds like your RDB may have been trashed (if you remember, the RDB is what stores your patition layout). If that's so, then pretty much all of your data should still be there, the drive's just lost the map to it. Check Aminet for an RDB recovery tool - I've heard RDBSalv praised on several occasions.
In the latter case, you may be in more serious trouble, as some of your data may have actually been overwritten. RDBSalv might still work, but I'm not really sure.
