I did something stupid and now I'm sad

[Alan Dacey Sr.]

I was about to try and fix a data problem on one of my partitions and used 
gparted.  I stupidly clicked OK without reading 'This will destroy all data on 
/dev/sdc'  I did not turn off the power in time and lost about 500 hundred gigs 
of music and movies.  The rest is not important to me.  I know, always back 
up, but I did not have the spare cash for another hard drive.
Anyway, is it possible to recover this data or am I hosed?  There are 
currently no partitions on the disk.
