Seems like you must reinstall, but then Harmattan won't be harmed:

Does anyone know a way to backup everything? Not just settings, like the backup prog does? Anyone tried backing up all files and just overwrite a fresh flashed N9 with that?

I formulated my question wrong..

I meant to delete the Sailfish partition, how to do it..

@CodeRUS
My friend, it wasnt accidentally repartitioninig or rm -rf command
if you install the debian and u want to install ubuntu over the debian
the installation, one of the confusing option is "Replace Debian 7.0 with Ubuntu" this option is very dangerous
I didint know it will replace my whole hard disk
anyways am pass, I will starover on july

Best regards,

No.
Don't use it. Harmattan is much better. Sailfish has farrrrrrrr to many bugs

I dont know the guy personally, he has a profile here (eccenux http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=57154) and his post around creating the rescueCD here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...7&postcount=10

Apparently, he made it, with help from others, from an original artikle (which is now dead, but archived) here http://archive.today/CpxsL

What you may also (manually) do is use sfdisk. But according to your first sentence in your post I doubt you know that tool?

Show us

Code:

/sbin/sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

sorry for late response ...

Code:

 ~# /sbin/sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 485120 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 32768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot Start     End   #cyls    #blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p1         16  160511  160496    5135872    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2     288512  419583  131072    4194304   83  Linux
