Just out of curiosity, are you working on a forensic clone of the
drive, or the original?
If a forensic clone, I've tried some creative "insane things" that
saved me sometimes.
Give it your best shot before you get too aggressive with it...
I'll try to remember the nutty stuff I tried that worked.
It was definitely "counter-intuitive", AND last ditch grasping at straws...
(And when possible, I work on forensic clones to have multiple tries...)
If a different program already found some old partitions, I can't say my
"program of choice" will do much better, but you never know.
My personal opinion is that 30 seconds is not enough time to wipe
the data off the drive clean.
It might "eventually" come down to how much you have defragged,
and how big your files were.
Disclaimer: I'm a VERY amateur data recovery person at best.

shows.
