I just did something really stupid, way to fix it?

[wgilles]

I accidently erased my Windows partition (not the actual partition, but the content) in Disk utility. Is there a way to undo that or am I screwed?

Unless you have a backup with something like WinClone, it's time to whip out the old Windows CD and reinstall.

You may search google for some software which recovers deleted partitions and files. This could help at least with some important files...

I wonder if Onyx or Drive Genius would help...

Linux Livecd may help

Hello,

You may use a live cd and some linux tomfoolery to recover some data but... don't have much hope.

Did the partition get reformated? Good luck. Here's a starting point

I am pretty sure there are linux tools to do what you are trying to do, but I'm at a loss when it comes to naming them.

Good luck,
PS: Buy flowers.
