Most of the files are likely were left intact, but the partition table
is likely to be destroyed.
I suggest doing the usual:
1) Immediately copy all disk contents by ddrescue (or equvalent)
elsewhere.
2) Put the disk in question aside, do not attach it to anything.
3) Operate on disk copy from pt 1 only.
4) Install "testdisk" package, and feed your disk image to photorec (it's
provided by "testdisk").
