partitioning - Data Recovery - ChromiumOS reformats drive

System: EeePc 1015pem
hard drive size: 320 GB


Before Chromium install:


1 recovery partition - Windows 7 starter.


1 NTFS for Windows 7.


1 EFI partition for boot booster.


The remaining drive, converted into extended --> 1 NTFS + 1 ext4 + 1 swap


I was trying out chrome in a pen drive. When selected Upgrade in the shell, it wiped my whole 320GB drive and created two large partitions and many smaller ones.


enter image description here


Running TestDisk:


Disk /dev/sda - 320 GB / 298 GiB - CHS 38914 255 63


      Partition               Start        End    Size in sectors
P HPFS - NTFS 0 32 33 13054 75 13 209715200
D FAT16 <32M 15 140 62 17 151 6 32768 <-- chromium created
D Linux 17 151 7 38390 250 4 616468480 <-- chromium created
P HPFS - NTFS 15012 107 8 38910 152 26 383924224
D Linux Swap 38589 184 60 38718 252 46 2076656 <-- chromium created
D Linux 38652 16 21 38760 108 4 1740800 [C-ROOT] <-- chromium created

Choosing to list files says, "Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged.
"


Is it still possible to recover? How?

Laptop was acting really weird, and copy and seek times were really slow, so I decided to scan the hard drive surface. I have a couple hundr...
