Data recovery!?...

Sorry dude, but all is lost 
. When you blow away partitions you lose your FAT(File Allocation Table) table making retrieval near impossible.
There's only one program I know of that allows you to alter partitions without losing data - Partition Magic.
The only thing I can suggest it try to find a sector editor program(I don't know of any specific ones). Those programs allow you to look at the sectors directly without needing a FAT table. I think Norton might make a program such as this, or at least they used to as part of the System Works package back in the DOS days. Good luck.
