Howdy folks, It was bound to happen and it finally did, while attempting reformat an external drive I entered a typo and wiped my Vista partition. The command I used was sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 Should have been sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 So ummm, anyone have any ideas on if data recovery would be possible here, or should I just re-install? Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Steve
