    the link @g_p gave you is how to recover files from **lost** partitions. Testdisk can still access your files as long as they were not physically overwritten. Therefore **stop using the disk** and work from a live system. – Takkat Oct 02 '14 at 17:35
  • and remember to *always* back up your big projects.. – Seth Oct 04 '14 at 05:05

First STOP USING THE DISK.

Then boot from a live USB. Install testdisk with sudo apt-get install testdisk.

Then run it and choose "Recover partition" (not files).

If the files were not overwritten, you might recover them.
