Here is the deal: While installing Ubuntu 11.04 I was asked to choose a swap area for better performances, So I chose my 1T hard drive(which had only one partition). The problem is that I did not know it will use the partition as swap area rather than just put a swap file in the selected partition...(there was unmarked "format" check box so I guess that my data will be saved) This hard drive holds all my program files and etc so I want it back!
So far I made: sudo swapoff -a
What can I do in order to make my hard drive come back with its data? note that I do not wish to retrive only selected files with some recovery tools. P.S: it was 5-10% used before the accident and I immediatly invoked the swapoff so I hope that my data was untoched.
