Trashed DOS partition table



Hi,

First of all, this question is NOT Linux related.
I have tried to find help elsewhere on the Net and
as a last resort (before going to a data recovery pro)
I am asking it here because I hope some of the readers
are knowledgable.
If you object, please don't flame, just ignore.

My 2nd hard drive is no longer recognized by Windows or Linux.
This occured after I HAD TO press the reset button when Win 95
completely froze.
I have browsed the raw disk through Linux, and it seems (I hope
at least) that just the partition table at the beginning got
smeared.
I am afraid to use FDISK to recreate the partitions because
it is supposed to be destructive. I looked at FIPS.EXE, but
it can't help in my case.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
