recovery off usb hard drive

[zeal0r]

I've recently re-installed windows xp, and i deleted all the current partitions on it and made new ones.

But to my horror i found out i had left my usb hard drive still plugged in while i was re-installing, and had deleted that petition, now i can't view any of the files on the usb hard drive.

are there any ways to get the data back of the usb hard drive?

any help would be very much appreciated.

Worry not just what ever you do do not use the hard drive.

It got back a hell of a lot of data after a user "accidently" formatted his hard drive. I am not aware of any free tools to do this sort of work but hopefully this will do the job for you.

A trial version will show the files that are recoverable.

Use the Partition Table Doctor "Rebuild Partition Table" function. It will get back all the partition on the USB hard drive as their original. The details:
