[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 715080, member: 3850"] So here's probably what happened: 1. Friend plugs disk into Windows PC 2. Windows sez "Not formatted. Format now?" 3. "Friend" clicks "Sure, whatever you say PC!" 4. Windows happily reformats the drive, obliterating all of your data 5. The person formerly known as your friend does his thing and then returns the drive to you. Point is, it's easily done. Unfortunately I don't think you'd get the data back even if you reformatted as HFS+ and then ran one of the "erased file recovery" tools over it. Might be worth a shot though... [/QUOTE]
