Contact Norton about the problem, you paid for their software, You might post more details on exactly what happened. The best software for this purpose that I am aware of is testdisk/photorec. Google it and you'll get their site which has detailed instructions on it's use.
I have successfully used PhotoRec (80GB of photos recovered from a friend's HDD. This was "completely wiped" according to a recovery company and therefore no data could possibly be salvaged), TestDisk and SystemRescueCd.
NB PhotoRec recovers all manner of file types, not just photographic ones like jpeg and tiff.
a user with an identical name has opened an identical thread elsewhere.
they have been more talkative there, and one of their main concerns was that testdisk/photorec is not comfortable enough to use.
the advice given was pretty much the same as here.
