If you know exactly what the partition information was, then Linux fdisk should do the trick. If you're concerned about losing data, just mount the partitions read-only when you want to try and see if you got it right. You'll need to know not only what size the partitions were, but also what cylinders they began and ended on and, if any of them are extended partitions, you'll need the same information for the partitions contained within. Do not use DOS fdisk. I wouldn't use cfdisk either - though, I don't use cfdisk in general. :}
