I use a tool called testdisk to restore partitions and disks.
I use it off a live disto called DEFT, but other live recovery distros will have it too.
Linux mint deleted both of my 35 GB HDDs help!

What did you do to cause this?
Very important - don't write anything to the disks, and definitely do not try to partition them...
Testdisk is the tool...

It's in the repos and you can make a floppy (but not all have a floppy any more)
