Hi Folks,

I made a bad mistake yesterday. I did a quick format of a 100GB HD yesterday. I deleted the partition and recreated it, reformatted the HD with a quick format and reinstalled WIndows XP (SP@2) and Office 2007 before realizing that I needed a folder for a small database program that was previously installed.

WHat are the chances for recovering the data files off of a HD that has had a quick format and windows XP install? ANy help please!

Thanks

If the data was in a spot where new data was not written = good
If the data was in a spot where new data was written = not a chance in hell.
