External hd which is unallocated in Disk Management

[hddnewbie]

Ok, so I did something really stupid today.
Just got my new laptop.It came with 4 partitions, I wanted one more and I got a tip to try a software called BootIt new generation.
(http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads-bootit-next-generation.htm)
This of course because 4 partitions is max normally.
Before I changed my plans I had actually succeded in making the C drive smaller and I had new space which was unallocated.

Here´s the stupid thing. While is was working with this app my external hd was plugged in, so now I cant see it in windows explorer.
In Disk Management it is unallocated. Same thing in two different computers. The laptop is fine, it´s only the external hd which has problems.

Not so surprisingly I really want my data back. Any tips please.

After this happend I have not tempered with the hd, no recovery attempts. Nothing

Using WinVista and the hd is called Western Digital MyBook 250GB

Dear,
Rebuild your partition table, your data will be recovered.

Ok, sounds good

How do I do that? What app do I need?


Thank you
