gparted is always the first choice in situations like these. The trick
is to realize that if you recreate the partition table the way it was
everything just comes back (assuming no destructive write to the drive
meanwhile, like mkfs.ntfs...) so all one needs to know is where did the
old partition end?
gparted can go hunting through a disk looking for that info
