You need to be a little more specific. Why are you unable to create a new partition table with gparted? – psusi Jan 9 '12 at 19:33

You should be able to restore it with testdisk. Testdisk is in the Ubuntu repositories, install it with software center or apt-get

sudo apt-get install testdisk

Testdisk is a command line utility, there is a step-by-step guide (with pictures) here
