First try a non destructive way, like:
strings /dev/hdb | less
then search for some text thats in the config file,
it might be a slow way of doing it, but you can't do any
more damage to the disk.
Or read the Filesystems-HOWTO, section 2.1.2 Repairing
corrupted partition table, theres a few programs like
findsuper, Fixdisktable, gpart, rescuept.
