It's possible that you corrupted the partition table, or that the partition table was already corrupt. That stuff can be fixed later though; your primary issue is the drive could die completely at any point; you want to get what data you can off of it and onto a good drive before worrying about corruption. | |

This does sound like a failing / damaged harddrive. The first thing you need to do is use dd-rescue or clonezilla in rescue mode to back the entire disk up onto a new harddrive that you know is working. Only then should you bother with recovering data. If you know the disk is good and doesn't have issues (tested it fully on another system, no issues with it disappearing, etc.), then try to recover the data on that system because your current one might have a bad controller. But get the data off of an unstable medium/disk
