You likely overwrote your PT. See my other post. If you can recover
your PT, you'll likely get your data back.
Before fiddling like this always
(1) make a complete backup of your system
(2) display and archive your PTs using fdisk or similar
(3) make complete copies of your MBRs on each disc, and BRs for each
partition.
