If you repartitioned your disk then you need a partition recovery
tool. Here are a few:

http://www.hddrecovery.com.au
http://bootmaster.filerecovery.biz
http://www.runtime.org/ (GetDataBack)
http://www.runtime.org/ (has a trial version)
www.acronis.com (RecoveryExpert)
http://www.partition-manager.com/corporate/

You can get an idea if you have any partitions left by
booting the machine with a Win98 boot disk from
www.bootdisk.com, then running ntfsdos.exe /L:MN
(www.sysinternals.com).
