partitioning - Lost extended partition after installing windows

I was using Ubuntu 13.04 and the hard disk was partitioned as follows:



  • Primary Ext4 (250GB)

  • Linux Extended (250GB) and Ext3 or Ext4 logical partition

  • Linux Swap (4GB)


I have installed Windows 7, and during the installation I have deleted the Linux Primary partition and created windows NTFS primary partition on its place and installed windows 7 on it. I thought that using any Ext3/4 reader I can extract the data on my logical partition but all the tools I used only view the Extended partition with un-located space!! as there is no logical partition at all. I have tried to boot to Ubuntu using the live CD but it didn't mount the partition and even when I used the default partitiion management tool it showed the same result of extended partition with un-located space.


Please help me to recover the data in the extended partition.
