I recommend you use your backups. This will give an assured way to restore your data.

Failing that, try foremost in a liveCD, you will need a wriatble partition of equal size to the partition which stored the original data, this will spit every file it finds (including the standing ones) to the partition. You will lose location data as well as file name and the data may be corrupted.

Backups are by far the easiest way.
