Hard Disk Recovery

During the boot process, I got a message informing me that something is wrong with D: drive and Windows XP needs to format the partition. I have a demo version of a data recovery tool at hand, so I tried it. Via scanning, the problem partition is listed in the disk mapping area of the software, but I can not recover them because of version limitations. Thus, I would like to find a free but secure method for recovery partition Windows XP?
 

Notices after Formatting a Hard Drive

Formatted hard drive by mistake, and didn’t back up the crucial data stored on it? The good news is that users still have the chance to recover data from damaged Windows XP partition. Remember, the faster users take effective measure, the more chance they’ll have to recover data. Also, users are supposed to pay high attention to the following things:
1. Don’t repartition the hard drive
2. Don’t write any data into the problem partition
3. Don’t install the Operating System or any program into problem partition
4. Don’t reformat the partition
5. Don’t try any untrusted unformat software to it
 
What makes unformt possible? After a partition is formatted, the data are still there in an invisible status as long as they are not overwritten by new files. That is because the space occupied by the formatted partition is marked as available to reuse. Once users write new data in, they will take over the space of the formatted data, and then those formatted data can not be recovered in any way.
