Restoring partition table.



Hello,
bad news for me - I lost partition table in my 1Tb hard drive. All what
I have it's fdisk output of working drive:

Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00087837

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1         973     7811072   82  Linux swap / Solaris
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2             973        2189     9765888   8e  Linux LVM
/dev/sda3            2189       42715   325529600   8e  Linux LVM
 
Swap isn't changed, but I can't create manually sda2 and sda3
partitions - when I set count of cylinders, count of blocks is not equal
with original table (I think because I used different versions of fdisk
for installation and restoring). 

Can I convert fdisk output to sfdisk dump? How to convert count of
blocks to number of sectors for using with sfdisk? 
What can I do in this situation?

Excuse me for my bad English.
