There are a number of options, and ofcourse the easiest to use is the most
expensive and has the most
bells and whistles: the Graham Utilities and the Gammatech Utilities both have 
a program to backup and
restore the partition table and other vital parts - without knowing how it
works, you just have to know
how to use the program but that's not difficult, just carefully reading the
manual - among other
programs, highly recommended if you can afford it or if you can save money
until you can afford it.

Dfsee (www.fsys.demon.nl) is free to use, but it's not easy to use.

Disk editors can be used to save and restore individual disk sectors, but you
have to know how to do
that (this requires direct access to the harddisk and to the first physical
sector on the harddisk, there the primary partition table is located, linked
secondary partition tables point to logical partitions).

You can ask for a cdrom with fixpaks, I think?
