Jump to Postno, it's final. There used to be an unformat tool under DOS that could undo some formatting actions IF no data had been written to the disk afterwards but it wasn't very reliable and was scrapped. I guess it worked by having format store a copy of the directory information …
Jump to PostNorton used to make a tool as part of its Disk Doctor suite that could recover files off of a formatted hard drive. Ell if I know whether they make it any more, though...
