A friend has done the unthinkable... she formatted her entire hard disk.
I am familiar with the Norton Utility-type programs that allow format
recovery, IF AND ONLY IF you store the original FAT data prior to
the format.  Well, the question is this:  is there any way to recover
from a total format if the FAT has not been backed up?  Any help
will be appreciated.  Thanks.
