I suggest you read through this wiki post on data recovery:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Testdisk
and I suggest you try to recover your data using testdisk.

fdisk (sudo apt-get install fdisk) can be used to see partition tables and make advance modification to them. I had the exact same problem with a disk and made a backup of my partition table with fdisk. (read man fdisk for more info)
Then I tried testdisk to recover my partition table and it worked like a charm. TestDisk is a fantastic product to recover partition tables.
But if you overwritten your partition table, odds are you won't be able to recover the partition and you're better off trying to recover files after formatting the disk to NTFS again.
