Default Programs still installed when partition was deleted

Hi,

I've lost an entire partition with all my very important data on it.

I have two physical hard drives. One has Windows (80GB) and the other
had my files (320GB - just on one volume, no partitioning).

I'm a Fedora fan, so downloaded the F11 Live CD and decided to install.
I wanted to install it side by side with my files on the 320GB.

However I'm so accustomed to installing Fedora on new hard drives and
VM's that I accidentally selected "Remove all partitions". It formatted
and installed, and I used Fedora for about 10 hours total, downloading
about a GB of data.

Then I realized what I had done, when I was ready to access some of the
data I had on the 320GB. Booting into Windows I realized (through disk
management) that the partition was gone; in fact only the /boot and main
/ file systems were there.

Based on the fact that I deleted the partition, formatted the disk and
installed Fedora 11, would I be able to recover my data using disk
recovery software? What should I use? I have good Linux and Windows
experience, but I don't want to lose much data on trial and error.



I think you can use a recovery tool Stellar Phoenix Partition Recovery
Software which is a complete partition recovery tool and which can help
you a lot in your case.The software is quite user friendly and
helpful....give a try
