Hopefully it was only a quick format of your drive (deleting the partition location information). You can use simple utilities like testdisk to detect the deleted partitions and restore them.

Assuming your disk drive is located at /dev/sdb, you can check using fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Launch testdisk and follow the ons screen process to recover your partitions.

Simply: When asked to create logs, select[No Log]. Proceed with selecting [Analyse] to scan for the deleted partitions. This should detect the drives in your PC where you will be able to select the correct disk and [Proceed]. Just select [Intel] if you have a MBR disk layout. It will then scan and detect the deleted partitions. If you are happy with the layout you can then [Write] the partition layout to disk. Otherwise you can perform a [Deeper Search] to detect partitions that may have been deleted.

This guide here follows the process above with screenshots. Additionally you can burn the livecd to a CD or burn the image to a USB stick to get access to the testdisk tool.
