Something like this sort of happened to me on my last PC, some nitwit sprung a virus in my system and the whole thing died. I shriveled up for a couple of weeks thinking everything in my life had gone, but life does go on we expand ours selfs and come out of the other end with a new sense of being and fresh inspiration and style. Its time to move on and break new boundries.

as long as you dont put any new data on the formatted drive, the information is still there. All a format does is tell the drive it is okay to overwrite the data that is there.
As far as I know it is possible to 'unformat' a drive using software available on the net.

99 bucks for data-recovery and you think it's expensive... do you even want to recover?
if i lost all my work i'd probably had better things to do then wining about it on a forum.
my advice, stop crying get into action.

dude, you can get it done for absolutely free. that service is provided by either the FBI, the CIA or the NSA. just profile yourself as a terrorist or a whitewasher of money or whatever it takes to make them bloodhounds come to your place. let them know that they can't touch you because you just formatted your harddrive. sit back and watch the magic unfold. they can go back up to level 7 mind you.

redundant backup sould be priority 1 for freelance designers, programmers and writers.
my suggestion is to start buying parts and build yourself a file server with raid.
if i remember right, i built ls0.silolabs.net for ~$250. that's pocket change.
no one says you have to buy a shitty dell box for $1000 or even new parts. although newegg has cheap parts.
our lug has a hardware exchange every month or so...a lot of times we'll give people old hardware we have laying around. and i bought a $10K alpha dec server for $165 at a university auction last month. a dual 64bit server with 8 scsi drives...for $165.
you just have to expend some effort to find shit.
ls0 specs:
amd xp 1.xghz
512mb ram
2x80gb drives in software raid 1 config
2x 10/100 nicsgentoo linux 2005.0
since the drives are mirrored i have ~80gbs of usable space...but if one drive fails the other takes over.
i have a backup script that runs daily on a cron job that tars (archives) the /home directory and then rysncs it with a server in my office at work. offsite backup.
~$250 bucks for a comprehensive, near-enterprise level backup solution.
so, build a cheap-o box...follow the gentoo handbook and the forum post about software raid...and email me for the backup script (it's a bash script) and then just copy the backup to your workstation and/or external drive.
simple and effective.

sparker,

- sparker0
