sure
first: DO NOT TOUCH THE DISK, dont try to create a new partition etc
second: get yourself another drive with enough free space
third: get recovery software, i would recommend r-studio. using that since ages
fourth: run r-studio, scan the whole drive / unallocated space (takes a few hours, depends on the size) and recover the files to the drive with enough free space.
fifth: format the drive and copy the data back
if you already installed windows on it -> still a chance to retrieve files which were stored in the sectors which doesnt got overwrited yet (and ffs if thats your windows partition dont use it anymore if you want to recover any data from it)

Yup, I wasn't dumb enough to do anything to it after I realized I clicked Delete on the wrong bit...
Well good to know you can restore it when it's untouched.

What is DD?

I had great success with GetDataBack for NTFS, when I accidentally deleted the partition table and lost five partitions.
dd is Unix utility for raw copying of everything (including disks).

I guess there are as many software for this as there are users for them heh.
Using R-Studio atm, will see how it goes.
Realized I had my backups on another drive so I'm not sure I even lost anything of important but checking it just incase.

@pax: making a sector:sector copy is not needed, only the case when the drive is about to fail
@Stige: fine, just wait till the scan is complete and copy the stuff you need

If you didn't install anything on the drive/partition you deleted you can try using testdisk to recover the partition. Worked for me once when i did a diskpart clean on my 4tb hdd.

testdisk works fine too, but its commandline based and might be too complicated for people who never done such things. r-studio is very powerful and has an easypeasy gui

Commandline is nothing new to me, using Linux a lot and all that. Even format my drives with diskpart.

I didn't know you needed a "legit" version of it, saw the "file too large" when I tried to recover.
Ok, saved the scan, got the legit software and now the scan only shows two folders >.<
Owell, will rescan over night I guess.

Recuva works fine. Easy to find a cracked version out there too.

didnt assumed you are used to that stuff (cause in that case its mostly the case that u know how to recover files 
no problem, r-studio did the job always fine when i needed such software (where other software like getdataback or easyrecovery failed big time)
