I was trying to make a bootable USB drive, and was facing some problems in formatting it. I was following the instructions in this answer, and by accident I made a new partition table on the hard drive itself. Now after rebooting I got this black screen with No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key.

Here is an image of the screen:

I'm not sure if I did the third step and erased all the data on the HDD or just made a new partition table.

Is there any way to get everything on my HDD back?

Edit:

I opened gparted through a live session, and it didn't detect the HDD at all. It looks like this:

Can anybody please help me by explaining the steps I should do to me??

If you want to recover the data (I mean, if you have something very important), first, do not attempt to re-format or reinstall, if you only formatted you can try to recover pluggin-in the HDD in another computer and running Recuva. But if you created a new partition table, it will be hard to recover.

Don´t expect to recover the entire system, focus on recovering the important files. Probably (the most) you will have to reinstall ubuntu again.
