Unless you have backup of 'fdisk -l /dev/hda' for earlier partition scheme. You can recreate partitions with exact same block boundaries and get all your data back without fuss. I have pulled that stunt successfully once. But won't count on it as much as 'ls -al' I assume you have not created any partitions on top of that. Any write to that portion of disk is going to minimise chances of recovery. Hell Back-up.. if possible..
