I accidentaly ran DBAN on my external HDD, I stopped it within a minute. Is there any way to recover the data on the disc? It only got to less than 0.1% on te first pass.
 
try this first http://www.easeus.com/partition-recovery/
or other partition recovery software, then files recovery software
else you need a pro.
