Re: How to recover data from FULL format?

I used Easy Recovery Pro for the same thing and got more than 95% of a
mistakenly formatted partition back.

I tried to format my 2nd HD (partition G: ) into FAT32,
but software (Swissknife or something) formated instead
my D: Win2K partition by mistake (instead of G: )!!!
It was FULL format (not quick), and it happened under
that same Win2K (wich restarted and died). After that nothing have been
written
on that partition. Is there a way to reclaim that data (sector by
sector or something) or

they are gone for good? And can I do it myself, cos
I don't have means here in eastern Europe to send HD to DataRecovery
firms in US or Canada.
