Well, had that also once.

First of all, if you have the place to make a full image of the disk
(using dd/dd_rescue/whatever) do it before you do anything else.
Then tools that might proof usefull:

* gpart: can automatically restore the old filesystem if you're lucky.
* autopsy: lets you browse deleted files via a webbrowser
* testdisk: scans and repairs lost partitions
* photorec: usefull for easy recovery of pictures on the partition
* magicrescue: does about the same as photorec, but for abitrary
                        filetypes.

That are the tools I know of (and those I actually used)

Hope this helps you!
