Recovering partition table...

There's a tool call TeskDisk. To make your life easier simply download latest GParted LiveCD, TestDisk is included in it. TestDisk executable file also available for DOS, Win32, MacOSX and Linux. Executable TestDisk will run on top of the OS, but there's an disadvantage especially for legacy Windows OS.

By using TestDisk from GParted LiveCD you don't even need to bother about the OS and all other craps like below.

Windows 2000 SP3 added support for 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA), which allows the OS to access hard disks larger than 137 GB. But, 48-bit LBA support must be 'enabled' in Windows 2000 SP3 or above! To do so, the EnableBigLba value must be defined and set properly in the Windows Registry.

Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) adds support for 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA), which allows you to access hard disks larger than 137 GB. (text copied from http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/OS_Notes#Windows_XP_and_48-bit_LBA)
