Once I lost a partition table and could recover some of it by using a 
utility called gpart.

If you have a rescue disk ('rescue' at 
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/8.0/disks/ is 
pretty good, see the README file on how to copy the image to disk. login 
as root, no passwdord.) you can attempt to recover your partitions.
