Sorry. Changing partitions wipes everything. It really does make any previous content inaccessible. Once upon a time when HDD were much smaller, the partition hadn't been reformatted and you had the time you may have been able to read the disk block-by-block in Hex looking for a file, but since we went to gigabyte drives little chance. That's unless the file is of extreme value and needs to be recovered at any cost.
