Depends on how you 'wiped' the disk. If you erased the mbr/partition
tables you can re-create the partitions with fdisk, if you know the geometry
of the original install, and mount them but don't format. If you used
another, more secure, wipe method you probably need to get out the
back-up tapes :)
