Someone Please tell me all is not lost!

Heres my problem:

I was reinstalling my OS (xp home) and when the select harddrive screen came up i selected the wrong disk to delete.

i didnt format the disk all i did was hit d, enter and then L to confirm delete.

im currently instaling windows xp to the HD that i should have in the first place.

Is there any way to recover my data from my storage hard drive? I had so much schoolwork/pictures/basically everything i have been keeping for the past 3 years and i only back up my really important stuff every few months.

Im desperate!

I think it should be ok if windows setup only erased the partition info..
this is free, try it first, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
don't write any new files to that hdd until you recovered..
