Darryl, as Patrick said, vgscan should find your LVM partition fine unless it got written over. In case just the LVM metadata at the beginning of that partition (~ < 1MB) got overwritten during install, backups of /etc/lvmconf/* and vgcfgrestore(8) are your friends as Sander metioned. If more is gone you probably wont't get back a whole lot of useful data. Any progress so far?
