Try this:
| gpart - Guess PC-type hard disk partitions
|
| Gpart is a tool which tries to guess the primary partition table of a
| PC-type hard disk in case the primary partition table in sector 0 is
| damaged, incorrect or deleted. The guessed table can be written to a
| file or device. Supported (guessable) filesystem or partition types:
|
| DOS/Windows FAT (FAT 12/16/32)
| Linux ext2
| Linux swap partitions versions 0 and 1 (Linux v2.2.X)
| OS/2 HPFS
| Windows NTFS
| *BSD disklabels
| Solaris/x86 disklabels
| Minix FS
