hey mags, not quite sure what happened to your drive, but there are numerous free data recovery programs available. you can even recover data on a drive that was formatted from NTFS to EXT2/3. if you need any help, holla.

Hey Mags I've found Easeus data recovery wizard to be really good.  Not long ago a crappy partition program I was playing with suddnely trashed an internal hard drive (main boot drive) and an external drive.  Totally gone to where I couldn't even see them except from Linux.  Easeus DRW recovered everything.  At first it looked like it was just going to recover a bunch of stuff with odd names or number files but it put it all back together just the way it was.  If you use it just let it run to full completion.

I would strongly Suggess that you use HDD Regenerator before you try all kinds of other software that will thrash your drive even more, I am an IT Tech for over 13 years and I could not tell you how often that this software saved my life, as long as the drive detects in the bios and that it still spins you will most certainly recover all of your data. you can find the software on Hiren's Boot Cd (from hiren.info) I suggess that you get version 10.4 or less of hiren as 11 and newer does not include non-free tools anymore.. hope this helps, if you need any more help, don't hesitate to PM me..
