Search and Recover from http://www.iolo.com/ does a good job on this.
This sort of thing is one very good reason for keeping your data on a separate hard drive. If data is on the hard drive with the OS and programs, installing Search and Recover runs the risk of overwriting the lost data, so, to be safe, you need to install search and recover on some other machine, and then install the drive with the lost data on that machine as a slave drive or as some other form of additional drive such as a USB-attached external drive. The hardware devices that are only the interface itself, without a case, are handy for a temporary lash-up like this. Keeping data on a separate partition of the hard drive is a partial solution. It avoids the problem of overwriting lost data by installing Search and Recover.
