It appears that all files are still there,  Is there a way to restore the previous partition/file system?

Testdisk should be able to recover the partition structure.

That I was going to say! Angry

Losing files by deleting - try photorec.
Losing data by partitioning - try testdisk.
Both in root mode.

May be recover.

Ok This is where we are.  It looks like the partition is restored and according to testdisk, the drive is bootable.
Now When I try to boot, Grub gives me error 22 and does not load anything.  I will search for solution.

Thanks

I couldn't understand if you rescued your data? Did you recover needed files?

What happened is I created new partition which deleted old partition.  No files were deleted.  I used testdisk to restore old partition
and now drive is bootable and operational.  I changed boot priority to match new grub configuration and added windows vista to
grub.  Now both os's are operational.  Now I am working on recovering my windows xp drive (recovering partition) and I should
have a fully operational triple boot system!

Thanks to all who participated in this thread. Grin
