Do you have a linux partition on the drive by any chance?
If you do, then there will be a copy of the partition table as it existed 
at the time linux was installed. There's a thread on recovering a partition 
table from /boot in the archive. If the disk partitioning hasn't changed 
since then, boot from a linux rescue disk to kick the process off.

Alternatively, with some prior knowledgr of a disk's geometry and partition 
details, I've had great success rebuilding stuffed MBR's using the Ranish 
Partition Manager. You can get it bundled with FIPS and Partition Resizer 
on a bootable floppy image at http://spark-plug.virtualave.net/ or from the 
Ranish's homepage at http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part/

Cheers,
Steve
