I am very new to Ubuntu, and in the anxiety to install Ubuntu ended up doing a big mistake.

While installation, I chose to overwrite my current windows 7 OS; and thought that it would only format my C: However, after installation, I have found that all my partitions are deleted and data lost.

Is there a way to recover those data? I have searched across the forums, and found out about testdisk. However, I need a very detailed step by step guide, as I completely new to Ubuntu. Some of the steps in various tutorials I found seem too advanced to me.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

If you selected "use full disk" during install, then, sadly, there is no way to retrieve that data. It will be completely lost. I hope you made backups. Good luck!
