I want Linus but I need to work

[JEM]

HELP!
I got distracted while adding Linux to a second partition and didn't realize that it was writing to the whole drive ... pushed my reset button instantly ... Now all that shows on the drive are Linux partitions, where just a second before there were: an XP Partition (NTFS) and a Backup Partition (NTFS).
I'm sure the data is still there ... just don't know how to "See it" ... Questions:
1) Can I restore the old Partition Table somehow so I can try to boot the drive?
2) If that won't work can I see the data via WinXP on my second drive? ...that's where I'm working from now...I Ghost every month so if I can't restore the XP Partition it won't be the end of the world... But I need those Backups!

How??? please help!
