Short answer NO. You can get some data back with lots of effort. If testdisk shows old partitions, you may be able to get files with names. Otherwise photorec may recover files & file fragments, but just by type not full filename. Often for Windows Windows tools work better. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery & http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk & https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2247461 But this is why we always suggest backups before any major system change. – oldfred Nov 26 '16 at 04:41

"With lots of effort"... well, not at all. It is quite easy to recover most of the user data. The OS, that is a totally different story. – Andrea Lazzarotto Nov 27 '16 at 00:56
