Installing Ubuntu 11.10 onto a 100 GB Windows HD from a live CD, I accidentally ended up with a small FAT 16 and the rest ext4.
Please don't ask, the answer is no.
Is there a way or a company that can recover the data?
I did not write after the error.

Re: My Bad!! I accidentally formatted NTFS toext4
It's depend on did you write into your file system.
Linux file system creates superblocks and writes their backups across the feile system.
Thats why a file system is often damaged, so that TestDisk can't recover it directly.
You can have a try to use PhotoRec.
Otherwise if you require directories and file names, you can have a look for commercial software.

You shouldn't need a company, but datarecovery software can do the job.Is there a way or a company that can recover the data?
