Help restoring LVM partition

I was working on a Dell Precision Workstation system with 2 SAS drives.
The first drive /dev/sda was partitioned with the following table

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/sda2              14       36472   292856917+  8e  Linux LVM

[root@lrc200604665 tsm]# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

I wanted to add a second hard drive to the system and mount it as "home"

My idea was to add it to the existing Volume Group VolGroup00

After I formated the drive and using the standard Linux 8E LVM2 partition type,  I ran the following  command to prepare it for LVM

[root@lrc200604665 home]# pvcreate  /dev/sdb1
  Can't initialize physical volume "/dev/sdb1" of volume group "VolGroup00" without -ff

Well,  I ran the command and it overwrote my LVM table.

pvscan detects a UUID mitchmatch since  PVCREATE overwrote the VolGroup00
vgscan and lvscan are also useless.

The system will  odiously not boot now

any help would be greatly appreciated
