Unformating Disks

Well I screwed up and somehow formatted all the disks in my Windows Home Server. I cloned the old hard drive to a new one and the Data Partition said it needed to be formatted when I tried to add it as a data disk to the disk array. So I went to disk manager and formatted the D drive of Disk 0 and it formatted the complete data volume on all drives. Is there a way to unformatt them and get the data back?

Not if you did a full format If you only did a quick format, there is a chance to retrieve the data. Sounds like you had no backup for your data?
 
False alarm. The data disks are ok. I thought I had wiped out all the disks. It formatted the D drive of the boot disk but somehow messed something up in the operating system. I have the important stuff backed up but there are redundant copies on the data disk array that it sees as one big volume.
