Yes, but I had no luck with gpart. I tried to use it to repair the
partition table, but the changes did not seem to be applied. Probably
still worth a try though.
I ended up using a program called Partition Manager, which runs
under DOS. This brought my partition table to a stable/usable state, and
I then re-installed LM8.1 with no problems. I was unable to recover my
existing partitions, but that seems not to be a concern in your case.
I came across some other partition table programs which you might
try, if Partition Manager is not suitable. I think these run under
linux: rescuept, fixdisktable.
Good luck.
