Hi

Try looking for a dos util called mbrwork from bootdisk.com you can boot with a
boot disk (msdos622) then type in mbrwork

Look for option recover partition table think itsa "a" select this, it will
then try to recover all partitions if you hav selected no of partitions as 4
after it has found them it may request option 5

regards
