Lost Data on partition - HELP PLEASE

[sansoora]

I desperately need some PC help. In the course of trying to install Windows
2000 on my desktop PC (which already had Windows NT 4.0 Workstation
installed) at home, I inadvertently deleted the partition which was on my
Iomega Jaz 1GB removable disk. This was NOT the boot disk. Just a disk with
an extended partition on it to backup files.

To make matters worse, I recreated the partition using Windows NT 4.0 Disk
Administrator and then did a "Quick" format.

The old partition table entries have all been wiped out so I can't actually
see or access the data on the Jaz disk. However, I know the data is still on
the disk. Just need to figure out a way to get it back.

Do you know of any disk recovery utilities that will work on Windows NT 4.0
(or even Windows 95/98 or even DOS) to recover the files?

There is a program called NTFSDOS.exe. Its a last ditch type program my company uses to piggyback, see into and retrieve lost data on NTFS drives. I can email it to you if you like, its a zip file and comes with instructions on how to use it.

Jaz 1GB disks are formated using FAT16...

ok, so let's work with DOS...you need to make a boot disk with Iomega's DOS drivers...and recover it using some utilities...

so far, i've only ran into one similar situation...norton's unformat (included with systemworks) got everthing back, but the directory tree was destroyed...the drive became a single-level of numbered folders...at least the files were in their respective folders...i had to sort through the thousands of numbered folders to find my data...

don't have experience with any other program...
