How to Retrieve Data from Overlapped Drive?

Real Time Scenario:

“My PC runs both Windows 7 and Ubuntu. It so happened that Ubuntu OS failed to load on recently. Hence I tried to re-install, but the partition table is shown empty when installation screen pops out stating that the entire partition was unallocated and when I took a closer view via Right Click option- GParted tool displayed a message, ”Can’t have overlapping partition” From this I thought that partitions are overlapped and cannot be used for installation. Can anyone tell me how to access data from overlapped partition and use it for re-installation?”
