*INSERT PROFANITY* HELP?!

Okay, so literally I was reinstalling Windows - I have 2 drives, 1TB main drive, and 250GB backup - I just went through and backed up ALL my files from my old windows install to the 250gb backup drive. Now I booted the Windows DVD, custom installed, and was doing the usual 'delete and format' except I slipped and hit the down arrow unknowingly, and I've just clicked 'Delete' on my 250GB drive. I didn't click format, just delete. Is there ANY way I'd be able to recover the data?

Try this, its saved myself from a lot of hassle before: http://www.piriform.com/recuva

I ended up using EASEUS Data Recovery Profesional - it worked a treat, everything's back. very glad!

No need for this. Since only the partition has been deleted you can use something like gparted or TestDisk to recover the whole partition.

Edit:

Hope you did not pay for it, you can get free software that would of worked just fine.
