Format with a filesytem able to hold such a large file as will be created from the orginal drive (e.g. ext4)
Boot Ubuntu from a live session ("Try ...

I believe, amongst other things, testdisk should work as a tool to recover your data. However, first and foremost - before you do anything else, you need to guard your last copy of the data. Firstly, only mount it read-only from here on. (You can remount it with the option ro, see man mount)
I suggest getting yourself a large (>2TB) disk and copying a ...

Give "extundelte" a try to recover your files

This is a tough spot, as you know. I can sympathize with you as I've hosed myself in similar situations like this before. You have some options. The good news is you will probably be able to recover most or all of your data. The bad news is it will take a bit of work.
The first thing I would try is TestDisk. It was made to help recover deleted ...

You can use dd but it takes a long time and basically copies your free space as well as your data. I also have found some cases where it simply fails - perhaps due to some bad blocks. I would advise something more high level such as rsync where you have some control over what you are copying, and you are only copying real data (which means a smaller backup), ...

Your best bet is to "re-install" all packages and let that fix your permissions for you. This will take some time, but it's the only way to fix everything.
sudo apt-get --reinstall install `dpkg --get-selections | grep install | grep -v deinstall | cut -f1`

to make root own everything in /etc
sudo chown root:root -R /etc
You will need to boot a live cd and run
sudo chown root:root -R /media/$USER/*/etc
You will need to open the folder in the file browser to mount the disk

Lost Partition
If you made a mistake while partitioning and the partition no longer appears in the partition table, so long as you have not written data in that space, all your data is still there.
GNU Parted
Run Parted from the command line to recover your partition.
When changing the partition table on your hard drive, you must ensure that no partition ...

From the live cd console, do:
sudo su
and enter blank password when asked for one. You will get a root console after this. Once you get a root console, you can handle any file on any partition.

You need to mount your system first:
mount -o remount,rw /

I think df is getting thrown by the lack of specified device. If you look with mount, you'll see that the filesystem is definitely tmpfs.
$ df -h | grep run
tmpfs 4.8G 1.4M 4.8G 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 12G 4.9M 12G 1% /run/shm

There is still hopes of getting some documents out from you old Windows Partition using an Ubuntu LiveCD or LiveUSB. From there you can use testdisk to get files from previous partitions. There is no guarantee, but i'm almost sure if you have not filled out your Ubuntu partition you will be able to get many files back:
