I have a spare laptop that I had installed Xubuntu 14.10 on that is mainly used for keeping a trusted & secure software base for my various cryptocoin wallets. Both full disk encryption (crypt-fs) and user home directory encryption were selected during install. I made the mistake of creating a usb installer [using "dd"] for Ubuntu on another machine via terminal on the laptop that contains my Dark Wallet. Instead of entering "of=/dev/sdb" I accidentally entered sda which is the lapops internal hard drive 
I noticed the mistake within seconds & closed the terminal window and since the filesystem appeared to be mounted I assumed that it wasn't avble to do any harm since it shouldn't have had write access to the partiotion manager. I was shocked when I restarted later to see that the Ubuntu live boot & installer image (1gb) now replaced my Xubuntu installation and roughly 100 Dark Coins, and this was 1-2 weeks ago when the price reachged $3. I hgave not booted the laptop since in order to preserve tbe HD contents the only partition is the live image abd 900gb+ of free space. I tried to use "encryptfs-utils" to run "mount-private-directory" and priuve0-volume but nothing was found as I expected as the original boot loader and parition map is gone I believe.
Somewhere in there are the encrypted contents of my darkcoin-qt wallet, if there were some way to reverse the partition map I kbnow the password and would be able to use encryptfs-tools to manually mount the encrypted volume;. Does anyone know of any software that is specifically designed or used to recover this data?
Is there any other alternate way to recover those coins? If I spent a bit of time searching I would be able to find the two or three addresse that were used and I know the wallet password. Are there any tools similar to bitcoin's brainwallet that could be used to do the conversions between passwords, address, pub/private keys and finally having all of them be able to restore my wallet & coins or am I just SOL?
