Help! I am an idiot and now my usb drive is blank :(

by jiminpa . Updated 16 years, 7 months ago

First off hi everyone who knows me. I am on the road now and it isn’t all that easy for me to hang out right now.

Now on to my stupidity. I just consolidated all me thumb drives into one nice shiny new 16gb Cruzer. I even made it bootable. 🙂 I formatted all my little drives and threw them in a draw just in case I may need them one day. Now logic would have dictated that I back up my newly assembled thumb drive but it was getting late last night and the SO was getting cranky and wanted me to come to bed.

I arrived at my job site today and was beginning to restore a hosed workstation from a ghost image and after the process began I suddenly realized I was restoring the image onto my thumb drive. I promptly yanked it out but it was too late. She’s blank. Can I recover it or is years worth of data including my personal wiki gone forever?
