[TriLUG] Is all hope lost (Ubuntu 18.04)

First, your statement doesn't make sense. sda1 would designate a pre-existing partition. Try trimming gparted from a bootable thumb drive to see what is on the disk. gparted also has a partition rescue mode that might help. But first, read and learn about disk partitioning.

If you are lucky, you might be able "see" the partitions when booting from an external thumb drive, mount them, and copy / recover data.

I recommend Knoppix for this purpose.

Was following an exercise and trying to creat partitions on sda1.  Rebooted and wound up in grub rescue with unknown file system message.  Did an LS and got two results. Both state unknown file system.  Will a live disk get my system (and more importantly files) back.  Grub repair maybe?

Thanks
Matthew
