Angry Help pls!

Hello.
I have a problem with recoverying some data of a hard drive.
First i'll tell you what happened and then what i tryied so far.
So what happened was i have a "Compaq" computer, with a Samsung hard drive of about 120 gb. My hard drive had on it 2 partitions from factory : one NTFS of 115 GB (containing op sys Win Xp and all my data) and a FAT32 of 5 gb(recovery partition). What happened was i got a upgrade 512 mb of ram , wich got deffective after a week of use , and my comp woudn't boot any more , so what i did was i tryed a factory restore by pressing F10 during boot. This factory recovery it was suposed to get my op sys working , but IT DELETED ALL MY DATA AND INSTALLED A NEW WINDOWS XP ON MY BIGGER PARTITION.
When i saw that i put the hdd in another computer , but threre i see my hdd as a non formatted one, i tryed to get back my data with "get back data for ntfs ", but i only got a few files in some folders named like : "02342".... so not my original folder structure.
I also tryied a fast format recovery using latest version of "Recover My Filles" but same thing , it recovers only verry few filles in some folders , but no original folder structure .
Can somebody help me with some advice , what options do i have ????
Oh, and btw now if i put my hdd in my old compaq computer , it doesn't work no more , i cannot read it any more there , even tough before , right after i did the sys recovery was booting up and working just that my data was missing ...
