Hang on, if it's just the partition table, then you should be able to
read past that point and find the file system on there, and guess what
should go in the partition table based on the size of the file system
(assuming there's only one, and if there is more than one, you could
read past the end of that file system, read the next file system, guess
what type it is and so forth.)
