After a long session of switching hard discs and several installations of Linux I made a silly mistake and managed to run mkfs.ext2 on the wrong disc partition, overwriting a disc containing data. I have been able to extract a couple of pieces of essential text data by using less on the raw disc partition. But is there any way of making a more general recovery of the file structure that existed on the disc? No data has been written to the disc since the mkfs.
