at least the first 100MB are gone. I can probably live without the first
partion, but there are many partitions after that, which I hope should
easily be recoverable.

I tried parted, but it's not working out for me. Does anybody know of a
simple partition recovery tool, that would just scan the disk for lost
partions?

The best way is to backup you partition table before destroyed.
