Unfortunately I think that the only way to recover it is to sacrifice someone to the computer gods...fortunately you have someone that seems to have a death wish.
I would suggest calling ekota computers. |

| that's ugly... rip the drive bit for bit and assemble whats left... that's a job for an Ubergeek for sure. if the area that your files were stored was overwritten, it's pooched. kick the noob in the nuts for fucking your work. on a side note-EVER HEARD OF A BACKUP??? |

so what company do you work for that will be hiring a new tech guy soon? :)
and there is a possibilty of still recovering your data but it comes with a hefty price tag. there is data recovery companies that can get data off of a drive that was overwritten five times so there is a possibility of them getting yours none of them are local though. do some research on google for it. |

The FBI can go down 7 layers last I hear, there's a place in BC thats not that bad for cost.
I didn't know Ekota did disaster recovery, I know Mike and Kathy there.
There is some software you could try but most of it you have to pay a couple hundred $$ for and I don't know how well it works.
I know there's some places in the states that well ouch, $2000/mb or Gb can't remember but they do the whole drive only not sections.
I would like to know what place this was too... just so I know not to recommend anybody there by accident. Mind you 90% of tech shops say they are not responsible for data lose and it is your responsibility to back up before you bring your computer in. |

London Drugs is partner with Action Front - which is a fairly large international data recovery company.
For free they will take your old hd, ship it to Action Front and get you a quote.
I've had them to data recovery for as little as $700 before for clients.... |

| I don't know if ekota does it themselves, but I'm sure they can at least recommend someone. My buddy used to work there....actually I think he still does contract work for them on occasion.:dunno: |
