Restoring the MBR probably wouldn't do much - the MBR (Master Boot Record)
basically contains some code to start the active partition in conjunction
with the partition table. I think it also contains some disk geometry
information.
Considering that your other partitions survived, and assuming there weren't
any gaps before or after the damaged partition, you should just be able to
start FDISK (the same version you used to create the partition in the first
place would be best) and then delete and recreate the partition. Tell FDISK
to use the maximum space available after removing the truncated partition
and hopefully it should work. Being FAT16, there are unlikely to be any
problems as long as the partition ends up in the same place.
