I have been reading about it for over a week now. It is a timebomb set to go off on 26 April. Nasty one too. About the only EASY way to recover is to restore from your backup. Otherwise, one of those data recovery services might help you if you do not remember EXACTLY what the partition boundries were. If you do, you might be able to use some util to re-write it but I heard that it wipes the disk to a fairly unrecoverable state.
