	Why is this on unix.wizards?  Anyway, you're obviously
upset, so take heart (and so will I :->).  You haven't told
us if it was a physical, low level format, or just the DOS
format command.  If the latter, then your data is there; it's just
your root directory that's been munged a bit.  The Mace utilities
will indeed do it for the latter.  For the former, you could hire
a group of physicists to do small-signal analysis of each track.
Otherwise you're hosed.

			Good luck,
