The way you put it, it seems like you lost only the partition table.

If that's the case, there's a program called gpart, which is supposedly
capable of guessing a possible partition table. The way I remember it,
it was not very good finding out lost logical(not primary) partitions,
but you lose nothing with trying.

I would dump the whole disk onto a file with dd, to have as a backup, in
case someone else points out a better solution.

That said, the same thing happened to me once, and since I remembered
the exact partition layout and size of each partition, I just re-created
them. If you remember, you could give it a try. Use dd to make a backup
of the original disk, though.

Good luck!
