I have accidentally gone:
format c: /q
when I should have gone
format d: /q
(I know, I know, stop laughing now!)

I am in BIG trouble, since this is not my HDD!!

Since all I did was a /q and I did not do the unconditional thing, I should be able to find a way of recovering it - correct?

Someone has told me Nortons Unformat will do it.
And someone else said, get the recovery disk from Nortons AntiVirus Gold.

Does anyone have either of these, or a link to either of these, or a quick way of getting any of these. (Legally or Illegally).

Or does anyone know any other software or ANYTHING that will recover the HDD from a Quick Format.
(Format occured from a Windows 98 DOS boot disk).

Surely people have been in this situation before? And surely there is a way out.
If anyone does have the recovery disk, please email me at khat57@hotmail.com

Anyone else with suggestions, please post.

Thanks in advance.
 
No - it was no my HDD.

I was intending to format the other HDD, to ghost the smaller to larger.
I was totally oblivious to the fact that the smaller was STILL plugged in.

There is no backup.
(Still in need of help!)

cheers

what os are you using or which file system was installed? if it was an ntfs partition, look for that emergency disk.
