Basically you better look for companies that are specialized in data / files recovery from such situations and chances of loosing your files / data are high.<br />
<br />
When the file system is created space is allocated to new files / directories (the new os in your case) and space taken by previous files is reused.

I upgraded my version of Ubuntu last night and pulled a bonehead maneuver. &nbsp;I backed up everything except for one directory of my work - which is one of the most important directories.<br />
<br />
The partition is the same - a 75GB partition (ext4 - /dev/sda6). &nbsp;I *hope* there's a decent chance the data is still there - since I haven't done anything but the install of the OS. &nbsp;There were previously 30GB of used space - but now only 5GB. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any suggestions on what to try or how to see if I can recovery the directory? &nbsp;It's simply <br />
<br />
/var/www<br />
<br />
Thanks!
