actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
I'm just confused why if your data is so important why you don't have a
backup. Makes no sense. I suggest you look into one. A cheap USB makes
this a lot easier and costs next to nothing.

It seems you have used your entire drive for Ubuntu. This has removed
your NTFS.

The only way I can see this moving any way forward is to grab another
500Gb drive and use foremost in a liveCD / USB, you can then attempt to
recover your 'important' data. If the area that held your data as been
overwritten by the Ubuntu install then the data is GONE.

foremost is far from perfect, so you may get full files, partial files
or files which are copletely unusable. You have also lost the file names
as well as the folder structure.
