I think I deleted a partition from a previous install, reinstalling over it, is there anyway to recover those ~10GB of data ? im not worried if I have to blow out my disk/partition in the process.

there are softs specifically targeting deleted or formated drives.
check www.zdnet.com or google

It won't help much, really. Not if the partition have been deleted, a new one created and written to. Then you're out of luck, at least unless you know of some magic trick I do not, that is.

I know, I know...

Fortunately i have experience of restoring files from formated partitions. mp3s and jpgs though, nothing else

Well, if the partition has only been formated and not written to, then there might still be some chance of succes but this is not how I understand the post.

After all, the difference between deleting or formating a partition is, well, rather major wouldn't you say?

So what did you in fact do, bejiita, delete it or format it? It's really quite crucial.
