Hi,

The only thing I can think to try is to boot into Partition Wizard, and then attempt to recover any partitions on that HDD using the Recover Partition Wizard option.

Partition Wizard Bootable CD allows user to manage partition directly with partition manager bootable CD.

You can also try these programs:

Download Recuva 1.43.623 - FileHippo.com

Rescue Kit Free Edition | PARAGON Software Group - free partition software, hard disk partitioning

But as a "Dell certified engineer" I would have expected that you have your data backed up.
