A secretary I know accidentally reformatted her hard disk yesterday.
The last time she backed up her files was in December and she did
not have the Norton FAT save utility on her system.  (Talk about
ruining a weekend!)  Can anyone tell me if all is lost, or is there
a way to recover her files?  

We are able to see some files and directories on C: when we boot from
A: (e.g., I can list autoexec.bat), but Norton Utilities show the whole
disk as free space.  I used BACKIT to save what we could and got about
6 meg of stuff, but it all appears to be the program files we can get
back from master disks anyway.  The subdirectories where the data files
were kept seem to be corrupted.

If recovery is simply undoable, we will just rebuild her disk and
let her get on with trying to redraw all the slides, etc., but if
something can be done, we can continue looking for someone expert
enough to help (with 4,000+ people on site, we should be able to
find SOMEONE!).  Anyone out there knowledgable enough to give some
advice?  It sure would be appreciated!  Thanks in advance.
