No. :} If you just change the partition table back to the way it was, then maybe Scandisk will figure things out and recover some of your data. Be sure to use Linux fdisk for this, and not MS fdisk; the MS version will scramble things irrevocably. Even so, once the Linux filesystem has been written on the disk, much of what was there before will have been overwritten - especially if software was installed there. It is not likely that much data can be salvaged.
