On the SystemRescueCD there is a testdisk utility. There is a link on http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page that points to http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
so you can read about it. Looks like it does the analysis and presents you with suggestions before committing any changes. Maybe worth a look? I'm sure it is available from the command line but if you startx on the rescue CD and right click on the desktop, it is also available in that context menu.
.
Also tried the system rescue CD, as Eric suggested,
but the "install-mbr" option provides no guidance on
how to use it. Tried install-mbr --help but got no help.
install-mbr --list is supposed to list options, but it does not.
It asks for parameters, but no info on what parameters are needed.
