Awwww you guilt tripped me out of saying "restore from your back up"

So instead I'll say this. If your data is that important to you, then you
should go to http://www.drivesavers.com/ they specialize in recovering data
from dead (see underwater, run over by a bus, or melted) Hard Drives. Sadly
because what you described doesn't fit under the category of dead, I don't
know how much good they'll be able to do. FYI, they are verry expensive, but
if you have no backup, that¹s probably your best bet....
