Hi guys

Please help me....

I used to dual boot XP with Ubuntu 8.04. Due to some virus infections in XP, I reinstalled it without deleting my Ubuntu partitions. Now I want to recover my old Ubuntu OS without reinstalling it. I believe there is some command for it. Please give me the details of the command.
My Ububtu partititons are as follows :

/dev/sda12 - /
/dev/sda13 - /home
gvfs-fuse-daemon - /home/nithish/.gvfs

Also one more question, is the last partition my Swap partition?

Please do help..............

Thanx in advance
