I need help with reconstructing my folder tree on my HDD

i mess around a little with disk managing in windows 7 and lost partitions, i didnt save anything on that drive so it should be posiible to recover it bu when i start NTFS Getdataback i just get only some part o files, with chcnged names and without folders,

i was using adobe lightroom to organize photos, so i can start it and i see that there were 31k of photos, i see miniatures

drive is healthy, nothing wrong with it,

Please help me recover those files, tell me what i need to show you in the beginning to for start.

thanks for info, im waiting right now for another 1tb drive to clone the original, as i said, i already use GETDATABACK and recover most of the files but without folders and names, so structure of my 7years of colecting and naming photos is gone, also GETDB didnt recover my avi files from camera, but those are not so important

i will have the drive on monday then i will continue, till then i am checking posibilities, i use DMDE, it sees everything correctly, i mean folders and files inside but after recovering file its coruupted, when i look inside recovered file the word EXIF (wchich is normally at the beginning of the file) is in the middle of the file, so i assuming that structure was wrongly recovered and shifted by some bits/sectors

what can i show you "safely" not touching the drive too much ?
