    Use it as a secondary hdd and boot from some other machine. Then run a recovery program on that hdd.

    Did you partition the HDD while the system partition is in use?

    .. and is the partition software original? 😛

    Don't worry.. If you did not format, the data is quite easy to recover 😀
