Acronis or similar is an even better solution - it will fix the problem before it occurs!

Yeah, or another of its ilk. If a DR utility will allow you to take an image (or even better to work on the image and keep the original) then it's a lot better.

The full version Paragon software is very good. I don't know how this compares but it has to be worth a shot.

When I lost data due to partitioning errors from my system, I have used suitable windows data recovery tool. When you download demo version of the tool, you are able to preview recovered data prior to restoration and estimate recovery chances of the tool.

I Totally agree with Andrue excellent advice, the decision now is the data worth it? if it is not then you could risk using patent software to try to recover data it will be a slow process but some data may be recoverable. but free recovery software is a gamble and a chance., but if you have nothing to lose its worth a go even if its just for the experience.....just don't expect too much..
It takes time to recover data especially if the majority of it is video idata, and the risk of corruption of the data is high, but the best of luck.
