try search for partition recovery software
artition table doctor, active@ partition recovery.
your data should be there but do not write anything on hdd.
my advise is when you find your files with recovery software to copy it to somewhere else (another hdd) and then reformat the whole hdd.

there are outsource programs based on wipe it CD or FD that you can use that does a better job than fdisk does... dban is opensource (freeware) works the same process it has to be burnt to CD though for it to work..

Hmm this is strange. Try to use paragon partition manager and see what it will show for your hdd and search options for unlock the hdd.
I am not sure and never seen such a problem locked hdd but I read that a virus could lock it and you even can't boot from it.
The program that I saw to have such un option to unlock hdd is partition table doctor:
With it you make a bootable flopppy disk and then you have the option to unlock it but this is only if your hdd is lock and here it is not sure what the problem is. See what paragon will show.
