It's fairly complicated. :-( Depends really how important your files were to you and how much effort and time you want to spend.
You want to check the partition entries at offset 446 bytes into the MBR:
Do I need to use dd to copy so many bytes or is there a tool I can use to view?

If it's all zeros... then it would seem you lost your partitions. You will want to make sure any data in that section specifies sensible values for your hard drive and partitions.
