I'm guessing that you made your designs and saved them to your GIMP folder?
If yes, then on Windows 7 or higher, you'll find them under
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.8. Otherwise they should be in
your Home Folder\.gimp-2.8. If you are using a Mac, they are under
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.8.

Move them to the same spot as above.

This depends on how much damage was done to the HD. You may have to get a
hard disk recovery program or send it to recovery experts depending on how
much your data is worth to you.
