Bummer. Sounds like the data was deleted.
If you want the data back, stop using the drive the files were on immediately. Deleted data is flagged by the hard disk as overwritable. Every new file created is slowly overwriting the recently "deleted" files.
Get a copy of R-Studio, slave the drive, and scan it. OnTrack easy recovery professional might find the files too but I've had little luck with it. I don't think either of these are free...
I've used R-Studio on "wiped" drives (most likely only a 1 pass wipe) and it recovered nearly all of the important data (pics, music, etc). Very useful tool. If you can't find a copy, let me know. I have an enterprise license available to me.
