If you stopped while just arranging where you wanted the disk
partitioned, nothing has been written to the disk.
If you actually proceeded with partitioning the disk then all the disc
has been overwritten in the formatting of the disk/partitions, and data
recovery would be very difficult and expensive if someone specialised
does it.
If you accidentally partitioned your external drive rather than your
internal drive, then the internal drive should be OK. Make backups and
start again.
You dont so much unpartition a drive as delete partitions and
repartition again.
Hopefully there are other backups.

install Linux forgetting to remove the external Hard disk.
