Can you print the partition table in this forum please ?

For file redirection try this :

fdisk -l /dev/hda > table.txt

If you've found again all the partitions, excepted the boostrap one,
you've made a very big step... :-p

FYI, you can reorder the partition map with fdisk and the r option. I
think the partitions map use pointers. more usable than for x86 :-)

For helping you, here is mine (on my ibook) :

Do nothing before I see your partition map, except if you know what you
do and are sure it's to do.....
