    Heh, thanks. :D That is what I did at first place. I found myself dowloading this and that, trying, for hours. Without results.

    I had that happen too - you will have big problems if you want to recover the larger files.
    I got about 40 % of my data back by 'quick formatting' the partition, then using a file recovery tool found on google.
    The larger files were gone or corrupt, but a lot of documents and stuff i had written (smallish) were all recoverable.
    Anyway - hope that helps.
