When doing partition recovery I selected * (=bootable) instead of D (=Deleted), now system does not boot. Am I in a serious trouble? Have I lost all my data?
Details/chronology of events:
* I have (/had?

* I was on Windows watching some facebook video, when system got stuck -with sound from the laptop speakers being last audio frame (probably due to some memory/disk issue?)
* so i restarted laptop with power button, and it reached grub successfully. However instead of choosing windows 7, I mistakenly chose something else in hurry (I guess windows recovery environment (loader)) -which upon entering I exited immediately by clicking 'exit' related option given on that first screen itself.
* Now system rebooted, but instead of showing me grub, gave me screen that said:
error: no such partition.
grub rescue>
* following the advice here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1836303, I used Ubuntu CD to 'try ububtu' and run bootinfoscript (I have the output backed up, can provide if relevant) + bootrepair.
Bootrepair output is here :
pastebin.Ubuntu.com/11313381/
I guess it recovered windows.
* So now upon restart, I got to a black-white screen where only windows options were listed (command prompt, command prompt safe mode, windows 7). I chose windows 7 and verified that it worked okay.
* I now wanted to get my Ubuntu back. I used liveCD to 'try Ubuntu' + install + run testdisk. Here, testdisk did find my Linux partition. I went down the directories in testdisc to make sure, filenames did show up!
But before initiating this partition recovery I changed D to *.(will send screenshots). It immediately asked me to reboot which was surprising (took no time for recovery, is it done that fast?).
* now system won't boot at all! Gives me:

* if I insert my previously working liveCD now to 'try ubuntu', it wouldn't work. I see garbled green colored text on the Ubuntu startup screen which i guesd roughly reads 'edd: error ???? reading sector #####'(image attached).
