Hi everybody,

There were some files residing on my ext3 file system, using Ubuntu as my linux distribution.

Yesterday I formatted the hard drive using a windows install CD, rewriting it with a new NTFS partition.

I'm willing to restore my personal files deleted due to this format.

Is there a way of doing such a task successfully?
Please suggest any solution that have even the slightest chance in restoring the data.

Thanks in advance.
