I had the same problem , and its easy to recover whole partition within a few steps!

first , install testdisk:

sudo apt-get install testdisk

then get into testdisk , and I assume you wont find nothing from Quick Search so use Deeper Search, There it will list some NTFS partitions , identify yours , highlight it and press 'p' then when you found the desired file , press 'c' , it will ask you where to save your recovered file , locate to destination and press 'c' again!

Repeat for other files as well!
