If you have a machine that with test disk and photorec installed you can proceed to recover the contents of the drive
get a copy here http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk This is only possible if the drive can still be detected on a Linux Box . And is still readable . Make sure your recovering the files to a much larger drive .
