Can you post screenshot from Disk Management?

You can try Recuva or of the many recovery programs.

You will HAVE to have enough space to recover to ANOTHER drive. If you attempt to recover on the same drive you may overwrite files causing them to go away for good or be damaged.

This is why backups are so important.
