shiiitttt .... ive just deleted my flash drive's partition!!!! now how do i recover my files???

last tuesday, i was given the task to reformat a friends pc... and install an os... she was complaining coz her pc is almost crawlin because of viruses and the instability of the os(i think).....

PROBLEM: When I booted the os' cd and the instruction asked to repartition the hard drive i immediately deleted all the partition to create another partition... not knowing that my flashdisk was connected to the pc, and to top it all: this flashdisk contains backup of the pc's data!!!!!

foolish me... now the flashdisk's partition is corrupted..... and there's no way windows can browse the files in the disk.... i have to look for softwares that can recover the datas for me

SOLUTION: I've searched serveral forums for solutions and found 2 softwares that did the job...




1. Ontrack's easy recovery - this software is free...





2. Runtime Software's GetDataBack- This has two versions . one for FAT(this was the one i used...and the next one is for NTFS file systems
