Recovering a lost partition...

Okay. So a few days ago, I got some kind of malware/virus infection, and when I cleaned it out, it left my Windows 7 (64-bit) install crippled. 32-bit programs would no longer start, and basically it was pretty broken all-around. So after trying a bunch of things, I attempted to reinstall Windows 7, which in addition to not working, managed to ruin my life.
Something happened, and now my Projects partition is now gone-- showing up as unformatted with no volume name. Everything else is totally fine, just the one single partition where I store everything I care about is gone. I have some of it backed up from a while ago, but it just so happens that I've been pretty fucking productive lately. Anyway, I don't think that part of the disk has actually been touched in any way. Just the partition table or whatever.
I tried scanning with a file recovery tool I already had, and it seems my files are all there, but this program can't get the file names or folder structure back. Some of my files are fine this way, but my programming projects are like humpty-dumpty. Shouldn't the file list/metadata still be there if the partition itself wasn't touched?
Does anyone know anything about this shit? What should I do?

Anyway, my will to live is restored. Thanks!
Your partition is corrupted and if you want your data back then you need to use a third party data recovery software, you can try Kernel for NTFS partition recovery software for the purpose of recovering the deleted, lost or corrupted partitions, you can check the demo version for the working of the software in which you can preview the deleted data on the corrupted partition after formatting the corrupted partition on which your data was before infection of virus.
Thanks
