your partition info is saved at 0x448 - 0x512
	4 partitions of 16-bytes each

if you used lilo, that info is also /boot/boot.0300
( or whatever backup file it created for your partition scheme at the
  time lilo was installed )

dd if=/boot/boot.0300 of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1  
should restore your partitions ... but i didn't test it
