[Cialug] Recover fat32 logical partition(s)

Just lost an old system, .. looking at the HD, I see:
/dev/sdb1 * FAT32
/dev/sdb2 EXT'd (LBA)
/dev/sdb5 FAT32
The weird part is that sdb1 shows bootable, yet there are no system files
there and sdb5 is a backup partition.
So, .. there are two partitions missing - the system partition and the
main data partition. None of those files show up in 1 or 5. In addition, 2
and 5 are exactly the same sectors.
Seems like the extendition partition(s) entry is corrupt?
Starting a sector by sector now, any recommendations on how to rebuild the
partition table?
TIA!
