Data recovery?

[Poppa_Meth]

I have a 120 GB Seagate drive in an external Firewire enclosure. My cousin was using to rip a CD image to and all was fine. He removed the HDD via the safely remove hardware dialog and powered it off. Upon turning it back on it was listed as corrupted data, something about the security (I wasn't there to see it) He tired a bunch of stuff to get it back with no go and eventually quick formated it, which got it working again. There was nothing too major on it but I'm wondering if there is any way to recover the data not that it's been quick formatted?

I think the problem may have originated from Alcohol 120% possibly trying to keep an active connection to the image file he ripped, which happened to be in the image list, though alcohol was not running anymore when he removed the drive. Not sure at all on that though. its the only thing I can think of.

run R-studio and scan the HD there are two versoins.. ntfs and fat.. look for the one that fits your drive.. it will recover all data that has not been writen over since the format.. very good program.
