Wiping out disk directories using PC-Intercomm

I have just been using a friend's copy of PC-Intercomm, so I don't
need anyone telling me that I deserve the mess I've gotten myself
into.  But here is what happened.

I write protected the disk so I wouldn't alter anything.  I then tried
to download a file from a mainframe using the kermit protocol.  I got
a standard error message since the disk was write protected.  I stuck
in another disk (which, of course, was an important disk) and
proceeded normally.  When I exitted from PC-Intercomm, I found that
the directory of the second disk was written over with the directory
from the PC-Intercomm disk.

Using the Public Domain SectorEd program, I found that the directory
is definitely written over, but most of the text is still intact.

Now for the good part:  does anyone know how I can recover random data
from a disk?  Is there an easier solution than creating a directory by
hand? 

I would appreciate ANY help.
