I guess you already looked in the Trash?
To retrieve files, that have been deleted and also been emptied from the Trash or are on unrecognisable partitions or HDDs, you can use

- Data Rescue 3 - trial lets you scan for free, but recovery needs a purchase (99 USD)
- Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery - trial lets you scan for free, but recovery needs a purchase (99 USD)
- FileSalvage - trial lets you scan for free, but recovery needs a purchase (99 USD)
- DiskDrill - trial lets you scan for free, but recovery needs a purchase (79 USD)
- Nice To Recover - trial lets you scan for free, but recovery needs a purchase (69.95 USD)
I can't think of any good free ones. Disk Drill has worked nicely for me in the past. Same with Data Rescue 3 and Stellar Phoenix. I used DR3 and Stellar Phoenix at the AASP I worked for when we'd recover Mac HDDs.

Just looked this App up on MacUpDate, if you can believe the reviews, it sounds like an Application to beware of, mostly because of the companies business practices.I have Boomerang Data Recovery and whats more it supports PPC - All the way back to OSX 10.3

You probably already know this, but try not to use the hard drive that the lost data was on, or it might get overwritten.
Weren't you nervous all the time about a HD failure anyway, seeing as you obviously don't believe in back ups.
Thanks for pointing that out - as you say does not look good (although for me at least it has worked fine on a number of 'life threatening' occasions) so would probably go with the other safer options with hopefully better support.
