Mate if that HDD is formatted then try O&O FormatRecovery

Thank you.

Could not find Acronis partition recovery on Acronis site

Any free version of O&O FormatRecovery ? Seems they integrated with O&O directory tool.

^mate O&O FormatRecovery is a paid application, bt you can try out with their trial one.
Download page : Download our freeware tools and free trial versions

And about Acronis partition recovery, download Acronis Disk Director 11 Home, it is integrate inside this

Acronis download page : Hard disk drive backup and system recovery tools allow you to instantly restore the entire machine

hmm paid tools...

Will try find & mount again.

One Q - Do I need to keep HDD in RAW format or format with NTFS before scanning with F & M ?

^don't do anything, just run f&m, else the data might get lost

as long as the original data is not overwritten, the data can be recovered.
here's a free partition recovery software that i used when i messed my partition up.
good luck.

so did you manage to recover your data?would like to know if you are successful.according to me the first step should be to make a sector to sector copy of the hard disk to another disk.then you have an identical spare and can try different tools on one without worrying about loss of data.
