Accidental Format
I quickly cancelled the format at 0%. Now my drive will not be recognized by Win95 or DOS. It says it's there, but it says it's not formatted correctly, etc. Is there any utility that exists that can help me get my data back or do I have to use a professional recovery service? I'm sure the data is there;

Neither format or quick format erase data. The only difference is format checks whether every sector is READEABLE to find out bad sectors so that it can be noted so in the fat table. This is how people are able to recover data from formatted disks. The only time the data is completely overwritten is when you do the

JMC Hmm, usually you have to wait until the low-format process ends. Now, if you want to try, check it by scanning, also in BIOS setup, if there is no error, fdisk, And, fdisk, and format or format /s the HDD.
