    MiniTool Power Data Recovery includes a partition recovery, if memory of the free version serves me. I have the pay-for. You need a few uninterrupted, un-hurried, hours of your time, pick such a time. Please stop unplugging things in a hurry and shutting off programs of recovery in a hurry. That hurry-ness is not going to serve recovery efforts well.
