If the underlying filesystem before the ext3 format was ext2/ext3,
you maybe have a chance to "unformat" your partition, there are some tools
out there in the net. I never used one by myself, so your mileage may vary.

However, if your original fs was btrfs or xfs, you're hosed, and your data are
gone, forever.
