Windows recovered but no Linux

I was defragging a partition that has both Opensuse and Windows.

Partition was about 30 mbs with about 8 mbs free.

The defragger could not get past 97% completion, so I had to stop it.

( I am wondering if there was not enuf free space to complete the defrag.)

Then on booting I got the old "does not recognize disk", and promptly restored the MBR.

Windows now works but Mr. Grubby is a.w.o.l.

The 3 hidden sections that Linux uses are still there.

What are your recommendations.

Thanks.
