Several free utilities exist for this.
TestDisk(commandline based), Find and Mount, partition wizard, plus a host of windows based tools (all named partition recovery) from Easus, Active, Minitool, Disk Internals... can all do this.
if they cannot recover the partition then you can use data recovery software to search such as Recuva, testdisk, Easus (again there are many such programs)
In the future, please remember that important files should never be kept on just 1 device or media. The more copies you have on other devices/media then the safer those files are from being lost forever. Even a copy on a dvd is better then no copy at all.
