Help recovering data after formatting

[fireflayer]

Well... I've figured out it's not a good idea to install partitions at 3 in the morning. Unfortunately I figured this out from forgetting to backup a very important file. Are there any sort of disk utilities I can use to restore the data? I don't really want to pay for some service, if there's something I can download or something like that...

Thanks

after a formatting, urm, ouch!
have a look to the Norton Utilities toolkit. it could be helpful.

ps: i think (not sure) the logical format (not as the hardware format) doesn't crashed all the data setting them to 0.

Go to www.bootdisk.com and download a file recovery program.

There's an unformat command in older versions of DOS. Check out the threads for a similar post. I had a link to some info on it.
