I would use Testdisk (should be in the repos), rather than try to copy
the partition table from another disk. Have a look at
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step#Partition_table_recovery
for some ideas.

As ever with this stuff, be really careful that the partitions are
correct before writing anything to the disk.
