An old fashioned, but still reliable method , cli: not gui

You can use the same strategy for partition tables as data ...backups.

'fdisk -l /dev/xxxx'  > partition_table.txt, 

Then use fdisk to create partitons again. This will write a new partition 
table and formating is not part of this process.

I have recovered deleted partitions this way ,never had to do a whole hard 
drive.
