Two days back, I installed Watch Dogs. In an ambitious effort to play the game, I started it. At that moment, I was unaware of the fact that, not all the aged drivers (mine was released in 2010) will support this game!! The game started and after loading the new game, the screen turned black. After staring at it for a while, I realized that, game got stuck at that point!! I tried every possible combination available (to stop an executing task) like ctr+alt+del; ctrl+alt+esc; alt+F4, but of no use.
In order to turn off the laptop, I removed the battery. After restarting the system, I was trolled!!!
One partition of 66.76 GB had been turned into free space. In simple words, one partition got deleted!!!
After googling for a while, I came across a software named "Active Partition Recovery". Which seemed promising.
In an attempt to recover the lost partition, I installed that software and ran a super scan. It took around 35 mins to complete the scan.
The trailing result of the scan gave me a hope to recover the lost partition. The highlighted partition (in the below image) is what I wanted to recover.
With a ecstatic face, I clicked the option "Recover". To my surprise, it showed an error "0x55A MBA has been removed/damaged". I was depressed and my whole effort was a bummer!!!
Then, my friend suggested me Active Undelete software. With a diminishing hope, I thought "Let's do it for a last time".
I installed Active Undelete Enterprise Edition, and completed all those basic steps and reached this!!
Finally, I'm able to recover my data!! Thanks to Kishore (who suggested this software).
P.S - I first recovered the data into an external hard disk. Then created new volume and copied all the files back from the external hard disk.
Well you atleast mentioned who suggested you the software to use.. !!

Similar tools for Linux also exist although they are bit tough to use through terminal (Linux's command line)
