Default Formatted and reinstalled Windows

Hi

I have formatted and reinstalled windows on my partner's computer. I copied the important files onto CD. After formatting, I found that the most important files were not on the CD.

When I formatted the HDD, I deleted all 7 partitions and installed windows xp with only 4 partitions. I have now installed the "recover my files" software.
The other 3 partition data is still in a raw state and I have installed nothing but the recovery software.

My question is, will the original partitions and data be restored, or will I simply receive a long list of files? And also will the names of the files be lost?

Thank you
