Tried Recuva (and a few others) but no dice. Short store: thanks to Win8, when I chose a partition on my old external drive (had it in 3 separate partitions) to create a back up recovery for my new OS (got a new win8 computer as you know), it proceeded to format the whole drive and install a FAT32 partition with the recovery info. I tried Recuva and a few other tools (hours) and it just didn't cut it for my situation since I want it to be able to see the NTFS partition directory structure to do drag and drop copy. Lucky for me, I had all my pictures backed up on other devices; just lost my program installer downloads folder and a few graphics (lots of work creating those graphics) folder that I had on my old computer desktop. Anyway, if any of you folk know of a decent recovery tool that will see folder structure, please let me know. Very much would appreciate any help.
