Is it possible to re-build a partition table in Linux?  I accidentally
reformatted a partition!  There's nothing critical on it but I thought it
might be an interesting exercise.

I copied it with 

dd if=/dev/hdb8 of=/tmp/part.img

and a look at part.img shows the data's still there.

Any suggestions about how I should proceed now...?
