There are quite a few forensic tools and data recovery tools available for linux, but you do have to be careful how you proceed. It should just be a case of letting testdisk find the partition and then using it to rebuild the table and voila! you have your files back again. Perhaps someone else out there knows of a better method though. In any case, if you can, to a 'dd' to a spare drive if you have one, so a mistake won't be critical.
