seagate external HDD

i have a seagate external HDD that was formatted FAT32 and has 112 gigs of data or so on it, and now the first bit of the HDD has been zeroed.

i can run testdisk on it and after analyasing i can view my directories, my question is how can i write the formatted portion so that it appears to be fat32 and save that data? http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

can linux do that?

If you are using TestDisk anyway, why not use that to fix it too. As it says on the TestDisk page you linked to, it runs under Linux so why are you asking ?
Is there something you haven't told us ?
