Oh **** trash. I feel your loss immensely :( Only to a different degree, i just lost data only, not any projects i was working on in any nature.
I have a 160gb hard drive, and i had a 130gb partition in ntfs. Dual booting with mepis and windows 2000 pro at the time. And, lets just say it's not good at all to format in ntfs at all unless it's going to be the windows partition only. High degree for **** ups if you have ntfs partitions. I only ever had trouble with ntfs on the 130gb partition, and i lost all of my music, games, ripped movies, etc. Just in an instant.
So yeah, i did what i have a feeling you may have done, what i reccommend. Formatting any big partition you have to ext3.
Great for linux, and even great for windows as a matter of fact.

Good thing to have, if you don't know about it :D

Yeah... the Linux ntfs drivers aren't exactly reliable for writing yet. I dualboot Debian and XP Home, and the only way I can avoid weekly rebuilds of Windows is to set up my fstab to have the ntfs partition be read-only.

When running a dual boot with Windows, ALWAYS LEAVE THE WINDOWS PARTITION ALONE. Never ever have Linux and Windows on the same partition.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

I dual-boot WinXP Home SP2 and Ubuntu Linux 5.10...

I didn't want to take space from XP, so I decided to steal the old hard drive I had in an old computer...

An 80GB hard drive (NTFS) runs WinXP off of it.
An 8GB hard drive (linux formats, IDR all three of em) runs Ubuntu off of it.
