is there any recovery available?
=========
Hmmm, that is hard news indeed.
Though the situation may seem dark, there are possibilities (but I'd be a pollyana if I failed to mention that the prognosis is not good).
I'm assuming Linux, yes?
If so, I recommend examining the following guides for the unhappy:

If not Linux let me know the OS build and if I'm not adept I'll tap some amigos on the shoulders for advice.
