fdisk writes to the partition table just when it's opened? I find that hard to believe. I work with fdisk on live disks, and i won't write until I tell it it (but everything's got to be unmounted before hand).

But in theory (my theory), if you do use fdisk to re-write the partition data, it should work. The only catch is it has to be exactly how it was before. Each partition must be exact in the number of and starting/ending blocks. If you can do that and then write the partition table, it may just work again.
