I know this thread is a bit old by now, but I thought it would still be
worth mentioning gpart, by Michail Brzitwa:

I've used this in a similar situation, after Partition Magic munged a
friend's partition table.  Some of his data had been overwritten, but gpart
enabled us to recover everything that was still there.
