I JUST FORMATTED MY 2ND HARDDRIVE WITH ALL MY WORK ON IT ACCIDENTALLY!!!

get some disc recovery up in that shit
- sparker0
call a data recovery service. it will cost you but if all you did was format it, then they can probably recover 90% of the data.
why did you format it?
- foreverwhatever0
DUDE ALL THE FILE RECOVERY PROGRAMS COST LIKE 99 BUCKS!!!!
THERE HAS TO BE SOME OTHER WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- warheros20
dude if you send it out it'll cost you $800-3000, so id say it's worth it!
- QuincyArcher0
data recovery is expensive...but since it has all your work on it, dont you think it's worth it?
- brandelec0
for 99 bucks, you can save all the screaming
- sparker0
sorry. no. how much is your data worth? probably a little more than ~100 bucks.

Start from the beginning - how did you even manage? I mean it's not like a click away?
- jox0

UGGHGHGHGHGHGH

sys admin rule 1.
keep multiple 'off-site' backups. in your case, keep burned dvds just in case.
sys admin rule 2.
if you're reinstalling an os drive...fucking unplug the other drives so you don't fuck your shit up.
it's not rocket science.

that's the worst thing I ver heard
- QuincyArcher0
the only other comfort i can offer is that you calm down. I spent about 4 years as a network administrator, and i can honestly say that no matter how bad it looks, you can always recover from it.
think...have you burned any of this stuff to cd?
- foreverwhatever0
yeah well, TOO BAD I DIDNT THINK OF THAT ONE BEFORE IT ERASED ALL MY FUCKING SHIT...
- sparker0
and, again, no. there is no other way.
oh, and cheap data recover apps usually yield less than perfect results.
- foreverwhatever0
umm.,..... no i havent burned anything recentyl....
damnit. the more i think about this the worse it becomes.....
- foreverwhatever0
piss off
- thismanslife0
Sorry, that was harsh :)
...Maybe source out some HD restore software, i'm sure such thing exists...
