Noobed my harddrive, partitions missing after fdisking


So, the font I was using didn't show a difference between a capital I and an l, so I accidnetly type: fdisk -I

After that, my boot loader disappeared and it boots directly in to Windows now. So, I put the FreeBSD boot loader back, but it doesn't recognize that there's a FreeBSD partition, only Windows. Even the utilities in Windows that read my ext partitions don't find it BSD partitions. I think what may have happened is that something that defines the boundary of a partition or something got overwritten. I have no idea honestly though, please help. Thanks!

(I am using FreeBSD, but this isn't really specific to the OS, so I put it in general.)

gpart will scan an entire drive and try to guess what partitions are on the drive. RIP has gpart.
