Well that was a silly thing to do :P

The problem has come up here several times before ,and everytime it is reccomended that you DO NOT write anything further to that disk, as it seriously reduces the chance of recovery. Do a forum search and you'll come across a lot of information, tips and suggestions to try, including some proprietry type solutons.

Good luck

If the partition was ext2, this might interest you:http://www.data-recovery-software.ne...Recovery.shtml.

There are also commercial apps available; just go to www.google.com/linux, and search "data recovery" to find out more.
