I suspect I already know the answer (no), but is there any way to recover a partition (was NTFS under winXP) that has been accidentally formatted as ReiserFS?

Say yes and save a kitten's life - 45Gb of movies and cartoons... :o(

I totally pulled a no-brainer w/ a gentoo 200.1 livecd install -- accidently set the 'Format' = yes flag for a partition that I did NOT want to loose...

The partition in question was not resized or deleted, it just got formatted ( reiserfs ).

Is there anyway in hell of possibly recovering it once my instal is finished? ( nothing is being written to the partition in question, it was "merely" re-formated.

Many thanks for any and all advice/suggestions.
