Man does that suck!!!

Fortunately, I had the necessary software to reboot, but I lost all of my stuff.

Nothing to be impressed about. I've done it a few times.

I know a few ways, and most of them I can recover data from...

E.g. if you deleted your partition table, there are probably even free tools that you can use to recover data, as long as you haven't done anything since then.

If you want your data loss to be forever though, I suggest DBAN.
