Then try mounting thing read-only (mount -o ro) to see if they worked.

Otherwise, try running gpart - you can download it from sunsite
(/pub/Linux/system/filesystems) or ;
http://home.pages.de/~michab/gpart/

That will try to guess the partition table from the contents of the disc
(looks for filing systems that it recognises). It worked for me!

Do you have another machine you can plug the drive into, or do you want
to do it from a boot-floppy environment? (not that that should be hard,
at worst you could get a staticly compiled copy)
