partition table toast on both RAID disks

[chickaroo]

okay i did something really stupid... i had
/
/var
/usr
/home
/opt
/tmp
on seperate software RAID partitions... home was an 89GB which has a lot of important data.
i /dev/zero'd the other partitions after resizing them with cfdisk and now all my logical partitions are gone on both drives (only sees primary partitions, and a whole lot of free space) i really need a way to recover my /dev/md5 (home) and i've tried gpart but it didn't find anything. i don't think it works on RAID drives. anyone have any suggestions for data recovery software or something to recover my partition table?
i'm booted in a *cough* mandrake install on a small 3GB primary partition.

if you recreate the partition table exactly the way it was before, then you should be able to see everything that was in there. You need to get the order of everything (or if you know the start and end sector for /dev/md5, you can just set that) correct. Writing a partition table is non-destructive to the rest of the data, you just have the chance of losing access to the data. Be careful doing it though, because if you get it wrong, and then do something like fsck the drive, or worse, mke2fs on it, then you're basically screwed.
