I mistakenly wrote an ISO on my external hard drive, using 'dd' command in linux.
Now, it is showing UDF format, is there any way to revert it back to the original state, without losing data.
 
Most likely buy doing so you over wrote the file system and wiped everything out to begin with. If there are files on there you need that you can't see I would look up a file recovery software (Not sure of any linux programs) and then get what you can off. If you can see the files you need i would copy them off and then reformat it as whatever you need it to be.
