Any help/clue to get the hard disk recovered is highly appreciated.

For a full recovery you can research some advance software which *may* rebuild.  The names escape me atm but it does exists and you need to be comfortable with some advanced knowledge; or pay for a service.  The other solution is to install "testdisk" which has a program called "photorec" and let it grab what files it can.  Though designed to recover pics it will recover most coherent files it recognizes, which is quite a bit. The caveat is that it will have no structure and the filenames will be gone.  You will have file extensions to identify most but you will have the data to rebuild/rename by hand.  Question becomes: How important is the data?  Otherwise, as Sam pointed out, the disk is roached and re-partitioning/reformatting is in order with lessons learned.
