Try the utility: GetDataBack from :http://www.runtime.org/
It offers a safe method of recovering your files because it does not write
onto the same partition.
Depending on the size of your partition though, it could take several hours.
Even though you know the exact partition information, using fdisk to create
the partition again could result in loss of data. You need to take steps to
be able to reverse your actions if you plan to directly manipulate the
partition table.
Hope this helps.
