No, no, no. That should have been "cp test.txt /mnt/win_c/".
You where also logged on as "root" when you did this. That's bad
practice. Don't DO THAT.

No doubt.

You could spend an obscene amount of money and send the disk to a data
recovery service. I'm reasonably certain they can recover the data.
Other than that, you're out of luck. Oh, maybe if you have lots of
time and patience, you could extract the lost data, but I would't
recommend it. Unless you really like to suffer.
I'd chalk it up as a three point learning experience: keep decent
backups (disks also fail mechanically), run as root only when needed,
and if you are root, make sure what you type in a rootshell is what
you *really* want done.
