    well, since you deleted it and reformatted it, i think that you are out of luck.

    but, since i dont really know much about recovery software, someone might be able to help more than me.

    I'm not sure what you're asking, either way you've lost your backup. Now if you just want to recreate the partition, then go into disk management, click on the unallocated space and add the partition back and then format it.

    If you did a quick format, Recuva might work. You'll have to physically take that drive and put it into another computer as a second drive and run Recuva on that computer. Mind you, this is just a guess.
