Recovering partition table...

There's a tool call TeskDisk. To make your life easier simply download latest GParted LiveCD, TestDisk is included in it. TestDisk executable file also available for DOS, Win32, MacOSX and Linux. Executable TestDisk will run on top of the OS, but there's an disadvantage especially for legacy Windows OS.

By using TestDisk from GParted LiveCD you don't even need to bother about the OS and all other craps like below.

Windows 2000 SP3 added support for 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA), which allows the OS to access hard disks larger than 137 GB. But, 48-bit LBA support must be 'enabled' in Windows 2000 SP3 or above! To do so, the EnableBigLba value must be defined and set properly in the Windows Registry.

Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) adds support for 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA), which allows you to access hard disks larger than 137 GB. (text copied from http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/OS_Notes#Windows_XP_and_48-bit_LBA)

gtk/gtk.h: No file or directory found when compiling...

To do the checking, run this command
    $ pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0
If the output is something like this
    Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
    to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
    No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
Install libgtk2.0-dev package
    $ sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
