I am in big trouble! Please someone help me.
I installed ubuntu on my windows, and I lost all other partition. I checked about this on net, and I found Gparted liveCD. when I used fdisk -l, and proceed with analysis, it founds the number of heads is wrong due to partition overlaps. Now I don't want my partition back, but I need the data on the partition. So can anyone here help me?

Please help me, I am in huge trouble

There are data Linux recovery tutorials and different applications for the job . They all recommend to stop using the device/computer immediately. If you are using that computer find another to monitor your thread and search Linux data recovery.

Testdisk may find your missing partition and let you drill down with deeper search to find files.
