The fdisk /mbr doesn't alter the addressing/partition data in the partition tables, it only rewrites the code used for booting. A good article on it is here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... -US;Q69013&
As for how to fix your problem, I know there are a few utils floating around. I believe Partition Magic can fix something like this, but then I'm very old-school when it comes to disk issues - I back up the data and then wipe the drive clean with a LLF, afterwords reinstalling/reloading data.
