I could recover the partition table using the following steps.

1. I booted using a ubuntu-live USB and opened the desktop environment.
2. I connected to internet and installed testdisk

sudo apt-get install testdisk

3. Then I started testdisk and followed the menu.

4. Select disk > select partition table type (i used the default 'Intel' partition type that the software detected > Select Analyse > Hit enter once more for for advance search > Deeper search >

5. The partitions are listed and the deleted partitions are indicated with letter D.

6. Select the parition/s that you want to recover with up and down arrow keys. Use left and right arrow keys to change the D to P (primary) or L (logical) and then select write

7. reboot

(Followed the testdisk demo from )
