No idea but if Mandrake had been installed and your'd chosen to backup your partion table on Floppy disk during the install or afterwards your'd simply need to stick the first Mandrake CD and the disk in the computer reboot load rescue mode from the CD and Choose restore partion tables. There was a similar problem to this mention a while back I think on this list try having a look at the Archive (if there is one?) I think a solution may have been found then.
