Need help!!! Manual partition recovery - Diskedit

I have a laptop I need to recover, and there seem to be few programs to recover a laptop harddrive even though the market have quite a bit of recovery tools requiring two harddrives... I am therefore using Norton Diskedit to recover the information manually.

The first I did was trying to determine where the partitions existed. After trying several demos, I came across the company DTIdata.com which had the clearly best utility for recovering! (Yes ndd is hopeless, and even Stellarinfo which I found considdered the best, failed my harddrive!) Unfortunatly, all the programs for recovery that I looked up requred an additional harddrive...
The program, even though supposingly blokking the partition information in the demo version was nice enough to give me numbers like LBA 619920...

I used diskedit, and sure enough, this is the sectors containing my partitions!!!

The computer has several partitions, however only 3 is interesting. These are:
HDA1 which can be found at sector 619920. The disk is 3.077GB in size. This was the only primary disk, the other two are logical ones inside either an expanded or extended partition... I am not sure if this might be a problem?
Anyway,
HDA5(I believe) starts at sector 13487103 and is 3.077GB.
HDA6(I believe) starts at sector 6773823 and is 2.563GB.

Now - I believe the only thing I need to do is add the pointers in the partition table(?)

Do anyone have experience with manual recovery of a partition??

I might be very close, but up to now I have only been reading the information, not modified anything... So I would like to have some insight before I try.

Yes!!!

I fixed it - All my information is back again!!!

What I did:

1) I had to figure out the start positions, size and end positions on all my partitions
- New learning - Always write down all information about my disks based on for example Ranish Partition Manager (shareware). Norton diskeditor, etc.

2) Back up all information to another harddisk
- New learning. Always keep a DOS or Linux boot disk with all the necesary tools for error correction, backup, etc. As I have Laptop with no extra harddisk, keep a DOS bootdisk with access for Eternet and logon to NT Netbios.

3) After backup is done, either calculate all the values for the partitions, or smarter, if you kept all these values on a piece of paper, simply enter the values in a program like Ranish Partition Manager, set the Correct Partition active, and that's it!

Note: Ranish Partition Manager is not that easy to use, and is not recommendable to novice users... It surprised me by requireing the cylinder number for the starting and ending position of the disks... (new calculations...)
