Hi,
I am a new user of Linux, i wanted to learn linux, so i started Ubuntu 12.04 setup. Its setup formatted my hard disk accidentally and I lost all my data and also windows and all partitions. Now I installed ubuntu on same hard disk as i lost my windows, and want to recover my data. Is there any free software available to do this task? My hard disk was in NTFS format.

You mean to say that the format process only took five seconds? If it is, then you have a better chance of recovering your data. The reason data can be recover during quick format is that the data are not being overwritten.
