If you must recover data you believe may be lost, it's imperative that you immediately shut down the newly installed system and not use it. You can run from a live CD provided that swap is disabled. See the guidelines here. Once you've booted into an Ubuntu live CD system, please run sudo fdisk -l in a Terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T) and edit your question to provide the full output (format it with the <$> tool so it appears correctly). That should show what partitions there are, and facilitate knowing if data recovery is needed. – Eliah Kagan Jan 10 at 22:16
