Default How to recover with this situation

Hello everyone,
I have two drives in my computer
First drive is split up into C: and D:
Second drive is split up into E: and F:

I had got some bad sectors on my C: partition wich prevented my vista from working fully functional because after installing ChkDsk deleted some important system files.

So i did put in my Linux Ubuntu CD and booted linux from that CD.
I booted up GNOME from linux to do the following:
I deleted the C: partition, leaving it as unassigned space, so my computer would never use those 20 GB's anymore.

My D: drive was 100GB and about 50% full at that time.
I decided to shrink my D: drive to 75GB's and the purpose was; use the 25GB's that would come available to make a new C: drive wich had no bad sectors so i could install the Operating system on my newly created C: drive.

The problem is the GNOME made the impression that it stopped working and hang, so after an hour or so i had to reset.

To make a very long story short now: my D: drive shows blank now, and says 70GB free, and its selectable and operatable within windows now, but i had all my music and pictures taken with my camera on it. I did not use the d: drive anymore, so no data was written to it after the disaster.
I tried recovermyfiles, but im not sure wich recoverymethod to select.
Basicaly most of it still has to be on the drive
can someone guide me with this please?

Is it possible to recover/search for raw files?

thanks in advance
