    Welcome to the forums!

    Check out TestDisk and PhotoRec for the possible recovery of any partitions/files. You can find both applications here:

    TestDisk - CGSecurity

    The easiest way to obtain them (in my opinion) is to use the PartedMagic LiveCD.

    Best of luck with your recovery.

    I guess I'm confused, because you don't need to install any .tar.bz2 files to use the liveCD suggested above. Just download the zipped ISO file, unzip it, burn the ISO file to a blank CD (as an image), and then boot your machine with it.

    You can find steps for making sure you burn the disk properly here:
