As I said in the title, I was using 3tb+unlock to open up the last terabyte of space on my 3tb drive and even without me telling it, it just assumed that I wanted the 1tb hard drive that I save my family photos on to unallocate.

As the drive is dying but not there yet...hense the new drive...the drive still works and still had some information that I needed to save and now it is gone. I explained it badly but how to I restore an 'unallocated' space to what it was before without spending a lot of money on a new program. Is their a free one or one around $10 dollars that will do this simple thing.

The program I was using when this is done is the program that came with the hard drive "3TB+ Unlock" and the maker of the drive is Western Digital. I just need to undelete the partition and get at least most of it back if possible.

You can't restore a deleted partition. But, you can create a new partition that takes up all of the unallocated space and run Recuva which is a data recovery tool: http://www.filehippo.com/download_recuva/

I have had good luck with Recuva.

Recuva is good if the files are deleted but if you can recover the partition you get most of the file system back. It is possible sometimes even on a disk that has been cleaned.
