I used gpart (under Debian GNU/Linux) one time:

a friend of mine was playing around with partitions, LILO and MBR, and my a
mistake, he copied the MBR of an HDD onto the one of another, and the
Partition table was overwritten, 

His HDD was put into my box, and we ran gpart on it, and it succeed in
guessing the crashed partition table (there was ext2fs, extended
partitions, and maybe vfat filesystems).
