Hi

Gparted may be a solution.

However if you use the PC and overwrite anything then recovery will be unlikely.

https://linuxmint.com/    Download and make a DVD/USB.   Boot from it and it does not install, only runs in RAM.

A little slow perhaps, but this is what you get...

 RECOVER.

Also you should be able to get recovery media by 

From 2016 onwards there is a possible recovery option via the cloud...

If in doubt please ask.

From your remarks, my guess is that what you want to do is recover the files and folders in the lost partition, right?

One way that @Lil_Boy_Blue has mentioned is to see if you can recovery the partition.

If that does not work, then you need to do the following:
1) Download and install this utility  http://www.majorgeeks.com/news/story/recover_data_in_3_steps_with_minitool_power_data_recovery_free_...
2) Run the data recovery utility to see what can be retrieved from the old drive.

If that tool does not find what you need, an alternative is Recuva http://www.piriform.com/recuva

And, if that does not work well, the best tool out there is this one, but only the trial version is free http://www.file-recovery.com/

Hi

The problem is space and not overwriting anything you want to recover.

You can try gparted directly, or via a Linx like Lubuntu or MINT.

GParted is a free partition editor for graphically managing your disk partitions.
With GParted you can resize, copy, and move partitions without data loss, enabling you to:

• Attempt data rescue from lost partitions

So you download an .iso and create a bootable DVD/USB, I use Anyburn but Rufus will probably also work.

ESC and F9 select the DVD/USB and give it 4 - 5 minutes to finish.

Then you get a GUI not too different to W10.  Try Gparted.

So yes you understand the process.
