Get a program called Foremost - apt-get should get it for most distros - it basically goes through a drive?/file?/partition? and, similar to Anti-Virus programs, uses a file type 'signature' to try and guess where a particular file starts and finishes - more info here:
There's also gpart (not gparted!) which guesses the partition table based on whatever filesystem data it can recognise. I notice both these programs are in the ubuntu repos too, which is rather convenient!
