Could anyone please tell me how a hard disk partition that was formatted can
be recovered?  I connected a second hard disk to my friends pc clone to test
if it still works.  He tried to format it (it was an ex macintosh
Hyperdrive) as drive D but forgot about his own d partition.  What sort of
utilities can recover it.  I believe that during a format of a hard disk the
information is not destroyed but rather the directory changed, so this
situation is not hopeless.  

How does one format a second disk?  Trying to format it as drive e did not
work.  Please send e-mail to inform me of what to do.  Thanks in advance.
