I wiped my entire Windows partitions accidentally while installing Linux mint please suggest me the best recovery software so that I can recover my NTFS partition s & files in it ( if its a linux live distro then better)

There is a software called Test Disk. It is available as part of disk tools in many live cds. I think it is there in CloneZilla. If you have a spare portable HDD, it is best to take a complete image using CloneZilla before proceeding further.

Test Disk can even recover accidentally deleted partitions. It is however text mode only. No GUI.
