Gpart is a tool which tries to guess the primary partition table of a PC-type hard disk in case the primary partition table in sector 0 is damaged, incorrect or deleted. The guessed table can be written to a file or device.

· DOS/Windows FAT (FAT 12/16/32)
· Linux ext2
· Linux swap partitions versions 0 and 1 (Linux >= v2.2.X)
