[SOLVED] Messed up partitions and lost data, help?

[struggler_guts]

So for some reason save files for a game suddenly disappeared and trying to restore them didnt work because it was looking for my SSD that used to be D drive but was now C. Thinking I could switch it up, looked and online people said make a partition and then I can create D drive. Tried that and wasnt working, downloaded some partition software that let me straight up just rename C to D. It restarted the computer, said success, restarted again, and sat on a black screen after the lil microsoft logo loaded a bit. Got a new external hdd with boot media on it that let me go into command prompts and like a fool I tried deleting the extra partition volume and extending the original partition to bring it back to normal. That made it worse as now it just booted to a blue screen saying there was an error. Soo I got another fresh ssd and installed windows and got the computer going again at least. Now after plugging in the old ssd its seems to be almost completely empty? In Disk management it says it has partitions 2 and 3 with 555 and 450 mb respectively, healthy recovery partitions it says with 100% free space. 465 gb is system reserved and 11mb unallocated. Is there anyway to recover the data from this ssd? I'm currently using easeUS and going through all the options it gives me but Im quite out of my depth here.

Whoa that is bad. Like, fatally bad.

And the next step in bad.


This is specifically what a good backup routine is for.

You may (doubtful) be able to recover bits and pieces. file001.txt, file002.txt, etc.
You won't be able to reconstitute the system back into original condition.
