You wouldn't happen to know the cylinder or sector boundaries of
the old partition table, would you? If so, you should be able to
re-create it in Linux's fdisk (terminal program). Also, you
might try running fdisk even if you don't. I've seen partition
magic get confused before when partition information is still on
the drive.
