recovery

I was using windows 7 till yesterday. I tried to install ubuntu 14. 04 Lts version yesterday with in windows 7. But it was not succeeded. Then I decided to install ubuntu only. By mistake I installed ubuntu in whole disk. After that to get deleted partitions I installed testdisk. I also used deeper search option. Now I'm getting "file system damaged".

It shows

The hard disk (320GB /298 GiB) seems to small! (<473 GB /441 GB)
Check the Harddisk size: HD Jumpers setings, BIOS detection...

The following partitions can't be recovered:
Partition               start                   end   size in sectrors
Linux                 19077  177  45   57604  81  13  618930716  
Linux                 19080  192 57   57607  96 25  618930716

With ubcd also I used testdisk option. Same result comes."cannot open file system. File system seems damaged ".

I have all my stuff in hard disk. Please help me to get recover my files in deleted partitions.
