I had a distribution trash a partition a few weeks ago. I used System Rescue CD to recover the partition table and did not lose anything. There are many good forensic tools for Linux, but many are difficult to use for inexperienced users. System Rescue CD is GUI enabled and it was easy to use. See: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page Click on the download link on the left side bar. You will eventually get to SourceForge where it is hosted.
