I agree with Takkat. If you need more, see my post http://askubuntu.com/questions/147367/recover-data-from-a-fat32-hard-disk/147378#147378 — Mitch, Jun 07 '12 at 15:26

You may be able to recover your partition with testdisk . Take the time to go through the Guide from CGSecurity that leads you through the steps you will have to take.

Take extra care to not overwrite other existing partitions. If your backups are old, it may now be a good idea to backup other partitions on that drive before you try recovery. Running testdisk is also possible on an image of your drive.

In case the partition recovery fails then you are able to recover your files with photorec (which is installed with testdisk). This will recover the content from all your data files but directories, file names, and permissions will unforunately be lost.

No, format is not needed - just leave it as is and try to recover the partition tables. – Takkat Jun 07 '12 at 15:54
That partition recovered ,but another(my linux partition gone) ;( – Tachyons Jun 07 '12 at 19:09
Maybe ,but that partition was ok before testdisk :( – Tachyons Jun 07 '12 at 19:42
Now I am trying recover via deeper search option in testdisk . It show many partitions :s – Tachyons Jun 07 '12 at 19:51
