Zar to recover deleted partiton?

[jgiv24]

Hi there, I am new to the program and I am trying to get the evaluation version to work just to see if the prog works with my particular problem before I buy the full version.

What happened is I was installing vista and i accidentally deleted the partition that had my 250 gig hd with 185 gigs of over 3 years worth of data . I did not reformat it, but some how when I installed the OS, it made that drive as C: and before I knew it, it installed a folder to it, just some Dell drivers.

Anyway, it does see all of my data after I do the intital scan, but of course I can only recover 4 folders. Well I tried that, set a target folder and everything, but it did not recover any files. It brought up some log or report after it was finished, but nothing was moved to the other Hard Drive. Will this program work with my problem and if so what happened to make the test version not work? Thanks in advance for any help!
