Testdisk may be helpful for you. A video can be reached on: [this video] NOTE: Testdisk will bring back any partitions you accidentally erased or lost. But some data may not come back with the partition. However, you can gain access to that data when the partition table is available again. Good luck!

Yes. There is a good chance to recover your partitions. Nevertheless you must run the whole process from a CD/DVD/USB in order to recover your disk to the previous partition tables. You can't bring back a partition while part of/or the whole disk is mounted. So I suggest you to make a live-cd in order to run the process.

I had the same problem. But Testdisk was able to restore a partition I've formatted after choosing a clean install in Ubuntu 13.10 installation wizard. I've forgotten that Ubuntu wouldn't use the partition that I used to have Ubuntu 13.04 installed to make a clean install... it uses the whole HD (I had a second data partition that I didn't want to format).
