Hello and Welcome to TSF.

I think Test Disk can solve your problem. We have an article on how to use the program that is very useful.

Hi,

As Matt said - try rewriting the partition table (described in the article).
Don't hesitate to ask - the program, TestDisk, can be a bit confusing when you're not used to it.
