If something goes wrong with your disk like this the best thing you can do is leave it alone and try data recovery. By formatting and using partition magic etc it just makes things worse in terms of getting your data back.

You have two options.

1. You can try a "Complete Format Recover" with the DEFAULT FILES ONLY selected. At the end of the search it will rebuild in the results window whatever of the old drive that it can find. You need to wait until the end of the search. I would say that your old partition records are probably toast now, so this may not be the best search to run.

2. A Complete File Search for specific file types. MP3 and video files are the most resource intensive files to find so run a separate search for these. This search will find your files by looking for the header and the footer. It may not give you the original file names back.

In both searches you will be able to preview the contents of the files in the results screen.

I am not sure what you have done to your old data in terms of where the new partitions are on the disk. I think the best thing to do would be to search the "physical drive" - that way you are scanning over all areas of the disk looking for deleted files.

I hope this helps. Good luck.
