Depending on the severity of the data loss, you could try any one of
the following:
testdisk - Scan and repair disk partitions
photorec - Recover lost pictures from digital camera
foremost - Recover files using their headers and footers
scalpel - very similar to foremost
autopsy - Web-page based graphical tool for data extraction
magicrescue - Scans a block device and extracts known file types by
looking at magic bytes
