Imagine the next situation: one PC with windows, linux and a FAT32

he didn't take care about the partitioning process and selected the
automatic creation. Now he has two partitions one ext3 for the system
and swap partition.
We need to recover data from the deleted FAT32 partition, how could I
do that ?
I am thinking on use photorec but How could I recover the partitions ?
We haven't any backup, data or mbr are totally lost now.
What is your idea ?
last time i used my boss his computer to format a usb stick and
accidentally formatted the entire drive (yes, this makes a man sweat)
photorec and testdisk for the partition saved the day (and my job), i
installed it after booting from a livecd and copied everything over to
the file server.
i guess you want to get the files save first and then recover the
partition in that order
