but don't put more data into that drive from where you have deleted files. if you put more files into that drive then recovery possibilties goes decrease due to overwrite on same sector
For data recovery purposes attach the drive concerned either as a slave or by USB caddy to another computer.
neil40m has recommended software to use.
Try GetDataBack as above.
If it sees your files then try PCInspector http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/UK/welcome.htm and Recuva http://www.recuva.com/
These are free. If they work you save money. If they don't you may have to pay for GetDataBack.

Because undelete is a relatively easy task for data recovery tools, almost any of them should be capable to recover these mentioned files.
Since they fail, most likely files are overwritten. Unfortunately, it is impossible to recover overwritten files.

I have had good experience with EASUS (paid) and TestDisk (free). You can try them, and see if they help.
Unfortunately, its not always possible to recover files, as the data might have been overwritten.
