Yeah, gpart is very useful!
root@khermans-laptop:~# aptitude show gpart
Package: gpart
State: not installed
Version: 0.1h-4.1
Priority: optional
Section: universe/admin
Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>
Uncompressed Size: 115k
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-0ubuntu1)
Description: Guess PC disk partition table, find lost partitions
Gpart is a tool which tries to guess the primary partition table of a PC-type
disk in case the primary partition table in sector 0 is damaged, incorrect or
deleted.
It is also good at finding and listing the types, locations, and sizes of
inadvertently-deleted partitions, both primary and logical. It gives you the
information you need to manually re-create them (using fdisk, cfdisk, sfdisk,
etc.).
The guessed table can also be written to a file or (if you firmly believe the
guessed table is entirely correct) directly to a disk device.
Supported (guessable) filesystem or partition types:
* BeOS filesystem type.
* FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD disklabel sub-partitioning scheme used on Intel
platforms.
* Linux second extended filesystem.
* MS-DOS FAT12/16/32 "filesystems".
* IBM OS/2 High Performance filesystem.
* Linux LVM physical volumes (LVM by Heinz Mauelshagen).
* Linux swap partitions (versions 0 and 1).
* The Minix operating system filesystem type.
* MS Windows NT/2000 filesystem.
* QNX 4.x filesystem.
* The Reiser filesystem (version 3.5.X, X > 11).
* Sun Solaris on Intel platforms uses a sub-partitioning scheme on PC hard
disks similar to the BSD disklabels.
* Silicon Graphics' journalling filesystem for Linux.
Other types may be added relatively easily, as separately compiled modules.
