I did a stupid thing…

Today, i got a new hard disk. It didnt work, so i ran a diagnostic tool for Western Digital drives. It came out ok, but I decided to write 0′s to the drive at the start and end to clear it, just in case. Who knows why. It shouldnt have been a problem. But it was. I had the wrong drive selected. Instead of running the test and the clear on my new disk, it was running on my old hard disk, the one I boot from. This is a Western Digital drive too. Crap.
Now I have no windows boot partition.
Im an idiot :(

    Yeah, i was, and luckily i backed up My Documents and Photos only last week due to an incident that somebody else had!
    However, all my past e-mails and bookmarks have been lost.
    Managed to recover some other stuff, but its going to need sorting
