Help needed please

Hello all,
I've just done a very stupid thing. I accidently quick formated a drive thinking it was my old drive. I need a good, free data recovery programme or a method of getting my data back. I have tried one program but it just came up with a list of 36,000 files with no file names or directory information. Anybody have any suggestions please.

Cheers

Pete

Quick format.

I have nearly all the data in various places but it would take me a couple of evenings to re-sort it all so as it was a quick format I was hoping I could just undelete the files (those where the days).

No this was on a second HDD so it only has volume information file.

Hello all,
thanks very much for your help. I tried a few programes and although I could rescue the data I couldn't retrieve it with the file names intact so I have given in and re-loaded the data from a two week old back up.

Cheers for the help.

PS A review of the available software would be brilliant.
