I accidently formated my hard disk. *HELP*

Hi everyone, I have a My Book 1tg wd1000h1cs external drive and I accidently formatted it since it was in one of my USB port when I formated my computer via my Windows XP CD.

I have over 15 years of pictures on this… give me hope, can I recover these datas ?

As long as you don’t write anything further to the drive, the data should still be there, depending. Hopefully only the ‘directory and partition table info’ was wiped out. If that is the case than ontrack or easeus software should get you up and running. I’d be happy to try doing this for you if you like.
