Hi Craig

It should be sufficient to recreate the partition exactly as it was.  
You can even try mounting it first - 

mount -o offset=x,ro  /dev/sdx  /mnt

x = starting sector times sectorsize

Failing that, download the Ultimate Boot CD - that has partition recovery tools on it. In fact I would be inclined to use the UBCD first before trying anything like re-creating the partition with gparted.
