Here's a similar thread from the other day, some free: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/758463
heres a list of the files the free photorec can recover for you. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/File_Formats_Recovered_By_PhotoRec Forgot to mention, how did you loose all your data? If your hard drive is showing up as "unallocated" it might be corrupted. A simple chkdsk x: /f can fix that (x = drive letter of drive). You can also try a scandisk (with boxes to fix errors checked). This will make you hard drive readable again, no need to use a recovery software. The free "testdisk" also has tools to rebuild the bootsector which can make the hard drive readable again.
