Please help!

As a computer novice not knowing what I'm doing, I made one of the 
biggest mistakes while I was installing the Red Hat Linux.
While in the control panel's file manager I accidentally formated my 
windos95(msdos) partition with ex2fs.  My guess is, I did something like 
mke2fs /dev/hda1  where my dos was.  Now if anyone could help me undo 
what I did or salvage my stuff in dos,  I would be grateful.  

Sincerely,
