Does ext 2 have a master boot record?
EXT2 is a filesystem. Like FAT and NTFS for Windows, It doesn't have a boot record. It all comes down if you use MBR or GPT partition tables on the disk. The former will have what you are looking for, whereas GPT only has a "protective" one.

Since data recovery is a fairly new field in the I.T world, there's no way possible for you to be able to get 100% of your data back 100% of the time. You might be able to get your data back and you might not. Make sure the recovery program your using supports your partition format. I recommend Handy Recovery or Active! Undelete for Data Recovery.

What is primary partition in Linux?
Same as it is for any other operating system: A primary partition is a "physical" partition that the Legacy BIOS's MBR partition table can recognize. Contrast this with a logical partition, which is a partition stored in an extended partition to work around Legacy BIOS' inability to handle 4 real, physical, primary partitions at a time. Today, on UEFI systems which use GPT, the "primary partition" vs "logical partition" concept is pretty pointless, as you can have as many true-to-life partitions you want on your hard disk due to the face UEFI does things a load better than Legacy BIOS.
