Unfortunately, your data is gone. While there is a remote chance that Norton Utilities can restore your data, most likely you will need to restore your data from a backup.

Not all hard drive partitioning software allows dynamic resizing of partitions. In particular, Apple's HD Setup does not. To change partition sizes, it deletes and re-creates the partitions, re-initializing the drive in the process. This deletes all data on the drive.
