Sorry, I used a disk for my example fdisk output.
In this case, if i didn't have /dev/sda5, but I did see /dev/sda (the 
entire disk), I would rescue the data directly from that.

ddrescue /dev/sda sda.image

If there wasn't even a /dev/sda , then I'm probably in trouble, as the 
system didn't recognize the drive at all.
