Hi Susan,

maybe there is another way, but this is my suggestion in short:

- boot from another live linux (I suggest Caine)

- make a file from the partition with dd.

- copy this file on a external harddrive

- with a linux system you can should use the program foremost to get the lost 
files from that image

If you use Caine version 7, there is a graphical tool named hb4most, which is 
a graphical tool for foremost and scalpel.

This would be my way, it is rather complicated and you need a little 
experience. It is nothing for noobs.

However,

good luck!

Best
