Help needed urgently to recover data from 2 second quick-formatted hard disk?

Question

I accidently formatted one of my drives which has 10 gb of data on it. After clicking the format button I realized my mistake and within couple of seconds I cancelled the process. But now I am not able to access that drive. I have lots of valuable data on that drive...please tell me fast on what I should do to recover my drive :( Please recommend free softwares which I can use easily or the best known softwares which will get back all the data gauranteed Ohhh please !!! I am not able to access the drive because everytime I try to do that I get a message "Do you want to format the drive ?" for which I obviously reply "NO". Seondly that drive is of NTFS format. Hope there is some angel out there who knows how to recover all the data I need from taht drive. Its been with mne for years. I just can't afford to loose it like this !!! Should I stop using my computer as it might overwrite tracks (which I could use to recover the data) on the drive which I am not even able to access right now ?

what do u mean exactly, what am I supposed to do recover my data ?

Answer 1

Formatting means deleting.
You can unformat is using a disk.
Or you can restart your computer allowing to start up from CD in its setup . Please be careful when you play with setup.
Then install windows without formatting
