[Deadeyes007]

hi everyone

I need some help
I accidentally formatted my 40gig HD.. As soon as I clicked to format I realized it was wrong HD and i quickly canceled, it did not even rech 1%. After that I was unable to acess that HD..When I tried to open it I got message "The Disk in drive E is not formatted. Do you wish to format it now? Y/N" I have some important stuff there. Is there any way to recover any of the data? Maybe there is some program to recover it? I tried to recover it in windows recovery but did not work.. Any sugesstions welcome..

thanks

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. There are those who have done the same thing and those that are going to. You can find a multitude of programs designed to recover from just this kind of error. Norton Utilities is always a good start.

clicked to format? what did you use to format where you had a mouse? just wondering for personal use

you can format harddrives in win2k under disk management. fat32 and ntfs partitions are your options.

You can do it in win98 too. I don't know about 95 though.
