Erased data during WinXP setup, how to recover

[hytek369]

Any Microsoft Certified Peeps or storage experts in here?

While I was installing WinXP, I accidentally deleted my storage drive (I was talking to my gf). I know the data is still there since, I did NOT write stuff over it or format it. It is just "flagged" to be erased.

Does anyone know how I can reverse this process?

Thanks

Norton Utilities, a part of Norton System Works 2002, has an unerase utility that might work. When you erase a drive or a folder, it erases the file table, but the data is still there until it gets overwritten or wiped. You have a fightin' chance.
