I quick formatted a partition on a drive other than the one with the OS. I then discovered it was the partition with data I wanted. Is there any way to revert back and restore that partition as it was?

Unfortunately that is a DOS program and I'm running Windows 7. I appreciate the help anyway.

Another note, I have not accessed the drive since inadvertently quick formatting the partition, so I doubt if I overwrote anything.
 



thats why you make a bootable disk with that program already on it

Use Poweriso to crate a disc image of the program you wish to be run on a bootable cd. (or if the image is already created for you (with.iso extension ), skip to step 2)

Then use poweriso to burn the image to a cd, make sure your bios settings are set to boot form cdrom first. insert, and restart.
