Accidentally Formatted my data drive. Can it be undone?

May 14, 2012

I accidentally formatted my data drive. The mistake was because I thought I was formatting an external drive.

Is there any way to undo the format and recover what was on the drive which is a spinning hard drive. My programs drive C:\ is SSD disk. It is still working OK.
Thanks for any help.
Jim
