With that drive attached to another computer, otherwise you can overwrite files. Another option is to boot from some other media -- read johnbl's link and look for this tool: EaseUS Partition Recovery WinPE bootable disk.

Hopefully you just used a clean command, if you used clean all forget it -- it would all be permanently gone.

Clean all would overwrite data, so it depends how much data was overwritten. All you can do is start trying the linked solutions above.

I would check the drive with the appropriate hard drive checking software, for example if it is a Seagate use Seatools for DOS and make a bootable disk to test.

It can probably be recovered to a working drive by doing a new diskpart clean process, but you will lose all the data. The problem now is that you stopped a clean all that was partially completed.

In the future, do not try to use partitions to protect your data -- use good backup, to DVDs and cloud services.
