I have no idea about Windows filesystems but you may be able to

disk with twice as much space as the original; make an image copy of the
original disk and don't touch the original anymore. Then try to
undelete the files from the image. Use the list Adrian provided as a
guide for what you're missing.

that won't work if he did a DROP DATABASE as all the metadata is gone.
