wow, don't panic or reformat, you can very probably get the data back but don't try anything until you have a plan. There is a program called 'recover my files' which can get data from lost or reformatted partitions. You can get it here: http://www.recovermyfiles.com/.

They also have a support forum. Depending on how critical the data is you may want to send the drive to a professional data revovery company, though this would be rather expensive.

I would also wait until others here have offered more suggestions. Main thing at the moment is to calm down and wait knowing the data can most likely be recovered by one means or another.

Avoid using or writing new data to the HD for the time being, just to be safe.

Spinrite is another program that can help you. It has a recovery mode and will correct your partition error.

Buy yourself a UPS, then you want run in to these problems.
