data recovery for Linux (no physical damage to drive)

I accidentally ran mkswp on a Linux (Ubuntu 6.06) data partition, and I need to recover the data. The filesystem was ext3, and I've read that it should be possible to recover using e2fsck by providing an alternate superblock, but I'm not confident enough to do this myself. I'm looking for someone to either lead me through the process via email or phone, or possibly to access the drive remotely (I can hook it up to another Linux box and provide ssh access). I'd prefer help from an experienced Linux systems administrator with data recovery experience. ## Deliverables - ## Platform -
