Q: My operating system was deleted, because of some errors in the system itself!
My operating system was deleted and I can't find my data now in my MacBook Pro! I was asked to reinstall the operating system online, but I'm afraid that my data will get lost!
I have checked my Hardware and I found that it has the same free space as before. That means that the data still in my Laptop. My question to you guys now is, how can I install a new operating System online without deleting or formating my Hardware?
Looking forward to hearing form you!
MacBook Pro, iOS 7.1

Have you tried using the recovery partition:

If you are successful booting into the recovery partition, select from this menu, Reinstall Mac OS X.
This should enable you to reinstall your OSX without deleting your user data.
If you want to be very prudent, you can try to use Target Disk Mode (if possible) to copy the data to another external HDD before restoring the OSX:

Or you can take out the HDD from the MBP, install it into an enclosure, connect it to another Mac and copy the data to another external HDD.
Ciao.
