Yes, but not done while running Linux. :-p DFSee can build a new
partition table from scratch by scanning the disk for the start sectors
of partitions, and give you a list of those to choose from. It's not for
the faint of heart. Nearly anyone would need help figuring out how, but
there is an excellent help forum available to registered users moderated
by the DFSee author to make it happen. URL is on page below.
