No, In most cases formatted partitions CAN be recovered. Depending on the file system type this can be somewhat difficult. If it is FAT,NTFS or HFS it isnt a problem. Unless you know what you are doing dont play with it anymore. 50.00 recovery software will not do it either in most cases. You need to rebuild the partition using a hex editor. Very simple....2 hex numbers can be changed and there is your partition!!
