Welcome to the forum if it's blank it's lost the partition you need specific partition recovery software you don't want normal recovery once the partition is recovered file should be there if you Google free partition recovery there is lots of good free ones

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.
