This probably won't work, but you could boot with a rescue CD (Knoppix
is kind of good for that, Slackware even better), then try mounting the
partition you want to rescue. The trouble is that inodes have been
overwritten - I'm not really sure what you'll find.

Though this won't help you in your current predicament, this is one more
good reason for creating a separate partition for /home. That way, you
can totally crash and burn your Linux installation and still recover
/home without a hiccup.
Sorry if this isn't a great answer.
