How to recover with this situation

[zino]

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

Hi

Recover My Files should bring all you files and folders back.

Download the latest version of Recover My Files from www.recovermyfiles.com.

First try a "Fast Format Recover" and in the drive selection window, select the "phycial drive" (you will be able to tell which one it is by the size. This search will finish within 20 minutes. At the end of the search, look in "Folder View" of the results screen for your files and click on them to preview their content. If you see what you are looking for then you can purchase an activation key and save your files to another drive.

If a Fast Format Recovery does not work, next try a Complete Format Recover. Again, search the physical drive, and in the file type selection list search ONLY for the default file types, but also add TIFF files. Look in Folder View of the results screen and you should be able to see your full file and folder structure.
