If it is badly damaged and deleted you can also try Test Disk which is free and I have used in the past to recover my 2 tb hd of files that was mangled.

TestDisk has features for both novices and experts. For those who know little or nothing about data recovery techniques, TestDisk can be used to collect detailed information about a non-booting drive which can then be sent to a tech for further analysis. Those more familiar with such procedures should find TestDisk a handy tool in performing onsite recovery.
