Lost Data

[Okwiry]

My friend has got a G5 Macntosh, and he accidentally formatted his HDD, instead of his Flash Unit. What S/W's can we use to recover the data, it's vital information. Any help would be highly appreciated

If it was just a "quick format" you might be able to recover the partition table and still have access to all your old data. I would suggest having a look at TestDisk.

I would recommend FileSalvage, it worked for me
FileSalvage - Mac OS X Data Recovery, Undelete Files, Rescue Lost Data if his data means a lot to him the price tag shouldn't stop him, otherwise DriveSavers or someone like them can help for even more money
