What do you mean by unformat?

DOS had a way of saving a disk map that didn't get wiped out if you
formatted a drive - so if you stopped the format when it had just
destroyed the directory and FATs, you could recover the disk. Of
course no affordable product can recover from a full format.

Formatting doesn't write anything other then a new filesystem, the rest
of the disk is read not written.
