Default 4TB Partition Table Lost!

Hi Ladies and Gentlemen,
I Have a mayor Problem with SLES 10 SP1
I Installed SLES 10 on a Dell Poweredge 1800 with Onboard LSI SCSi Controller.
I have attached a Promise V-Trak 300p SAN Subsytem with 4 Terabyte Raid 5.
I Created a 4.3 Terabye Reiserfs Partition with Yast, copied 1.2 Terabyte of Data an Worked for 2 Weeks -everything`s Fine.

Now i Rebooted the Server and it won´t come up because it cant mount the Device, telling me the Superblock is lost an i have to run reiserfsck --rebuild-SB an then reiserfsck --check.

I did that an now i have ca 81 GB Partiotion containing parts of the Data - where is my 4.3 terabyte Partition - it can´t be gone just be rebooting??

I found out that the problem is that a MSDOS Partition Table cannot be bigger than 2 TB - but How did Yast do it? - Maybe it Created a GPT Partition Table and the Reiserfsck converted it somehow int MSDOS.
So how do i get my partition Table Back to acces my Data??
