The only other alternative is to restore from backup. |
First, don't do anything that could cause a write to that drive. Ideally, run the computer from another drive---or mount the problem drive into a different computer.
The most often recommended tools are "testdisk" and "photorec"---both from the same author: http://www.cgsecurity.org/ When running a recovery, you need adequate space on a drive (NOT the one you are recovering from) |
