You should be able to download a Windows 8.1 .iso following the instructions here:

Someone said that windows 8 product key will not gonna work if you use installation media of windows 8.1.
And if i use this, will windows automatically detect the product key?

This is updated media and Microsoft fixed this problem; you however need to select the correct .iso. If you are prompted to input a product key, its the wrong .iso, if you are not prompted for a product key its the correct .iso.
Likely you have Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 Single Language so I would try both, my guide explains the situation in more detail.

I just read a article about how to recover datas, I would like to share it with you:
Download WiseRecovery and install it.
Activate and start WiseRecovery.
Select the document from which the file you wish to recover was deleted or formatted.
Click "Scan". WiseRecovery could search the files that exist in hard drive sectors that are flagged to be overwritten.
choose the file you want to recover in the listing of files that WiseRecovery finds.
Click "Recover" and to see if the file is available once again in its original location.
