Customizing SharePoint list form ruined the entire form

Customizing new form or edit form with SharePoint designer, some times ruined entire form if you delete ListFormWebart from the form.
This may also result in affecting other form of the same list.

We encounterd this problem once on our test environment. After searching heavily on internert I found below post which helped me a lot and saved my time.

The post gives you step by step things which you need to follow. Just to add one point, while following these steps make sure you save your work only after last step. Saving your work in between may ruined other form.

Quick Update
In case if you want to customize your edit form or new form, hide the ListFormWebPart control and insert the Custom List Form control to your page.
