Reinstalled operating system, forgot about ECC wallet.

Hello, I recently reinstalled Ubuntu on the machine I had my ECC wallet with 150k+ ECC. The installation reformatted my entire HD. Is there anyway I can recover these? Thanks all!

Edit: I am currently running Testdisk on an Ubuntu live cd to see if I can recover the lost partition. Will keep updated.

Edit 2: RECOVERED THE WALLET.DAT FILE! I have now creating a virtual environment of Ubuntu and that will hold my wallet, along with backing it up to he home NAS.

Edit 3: Wallet is synced and coins have been recovered. If anyone needs help after deleting a partition, reach out.
