Hi!
First, create a drive image with DiskImage (By Roadkil) if anything goes wrong you can step back.
Then...run TestDisk software, and search lost partition(s) and write result to disk.
...or load the created image to GetDataBack software, and do a file system reconstruction. When it finished, copy your files to a healthy, formatted disk.
