So the saga continues…

To make the things right, I acquired a program called Active@ Partition Recovery Professional.

It looks promising, and I’m currently running a scan on the HDD (NTFS only obviously) for lost partitions. As of right now, its @ 30% and has upgraded the recoverability from “Very Bad” to “Bad” … I’m not sure whether I should be encouraged by that or not, but it may be classifying it as bad because it’s thinking the old ISO versions of the movies which I deleted were still a part of the partition.
