    I formatted the wrong hard-drive in work and now I need to recover data.

    The drive was partitioned into 2, currently the partition I need is showing up as Fat32 where it would have been Nfsc. This may be because it was only repartitioned rather then reformatted. Anybody got any ideas as to how to recover the data?

    There are some excellent file recovery programs which are whithin windows and can recover files even after a partition or format. I'd advise to experiment with a few which can be got of download.com and then select the best one as there are a lot better than others and they work different ways. :)

    PC Inspector is one that pops up quite often for file recovery q's on boards, its freeware.

    I can testify to that :/
