I am no expert in this, but as no one has answered you, let me at least give you a pointer.

Try reading the Community Data Recovery (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery) page.

Google may also help.

For future note, please ensure you always keep up-to-date backups, especially when mucking about with partitions.

I'm not sure he knew he was mucking about with partitions. It looks like he plugged an ext2/3/4 disk into a machine running Windows and Windows ever so helpfully said something along the lines of "I can't read the filesystem on this partition, so it must be blank. Let me format that to NTFS for you", and he approved that without realizing what it would do.
