Firstly, don't ever mess with partitions on a hard drive without backing up all vital data first (sorry bout the late notice).
Secondly, DO NOT format those parititions if you want to restore those files.
Thirdly, if this alleged program actually works, it would be cheaper for you to buy a new HD to do this than it would to send the ruined hard drive in for recovery. That crap can be VERY expensive. Again, like other comments, I can't verify the recovery program, but it might be worth the chance. You can get a 200GB HD these days for around $80 US, which would be much cheaper than the probable $200-600+ price for professional recovery.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
