    It's not something I'm at all familiar with but I would
    hazard a guess that it's talking about a physical partition
    map, created when the data was backed up. Following the
    disk crash, you're using a different disk, so the map is no
    longer valid.

    What sort of backup was it?
    What's the restore command you're using?
