All right, I accidently formatted the wrong partition using a Win98 disk... I know, I know, I'm a moron and I deserve losing my data... But, is there a way I could recover it? Anyone know of any GOOD data recovery program that will also recover file/directory structure?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I know DOS used to offer an "unformat" or an "unerase" command, i beleive the only thing it COULDNT save was an fdisk operation.

Im not sure how this works though.

Also, any data recovery software i know of needs to be installed prior to the accident so it can "rollback" to a time before the format.

I wish ya luck bro.

Thanks, can most certainly use all the luck I can get. I'm still scouring the web for software that will be able to do this, found some but none satisfactory...
