Don't you have an image you can restore
I got an image, but just from the system drive...and anyway, guess what guys: I GOT ALL THE FREAKING DATA BACK ... I can hardly believe it myself
what I didn't mention in my previous posts here is that the RAW drive was a bitlocker encrypted drive, because I thought if I say that everyone will tell me to forget about the data... no way to repair a bootsector on such a drive etc... which is probably true (when seen as RAW), but...I googled a bit, found that Bitlocker recovery tool for Win7 was already in Win7, and that the downloaded tool I had was just for Vista. So I run the appropriate command in a console, pointed to an empty partition, and everything got decrypted to it
