Do you have a list of the partition data (starting block, ending block,
etc.) for each partition that was originally there? If so, you can try
using the installation cdrom and try disk druid to recreate exactly
those
partitions. If you have another drive in the system, or can put one
there temporarily and create a linux installation on that, then you can
try using sfdisk to recover the partitions on the drive. "sfdisk -V
<drv>"
will attempt to do checks on partition tables.
