Default EXT3 file recovery

I had a major hard drive failure recently and in the
process of trying to pull data off of it, I accidentally reformatted
it (somehow I confused my ubuntu instillation with my SuSE
instillation). Anyway, I've recovered files off of NTFS and Reiserfs
before but I'm having trouble finding out how to do it with EXT3
inside of linux (I've found a bunch of programs that let you do it
from windows, but that doesn't really help me). Anyway, any help would be great, I've got a ton of configuration files on there that I really don't want to have to recreate.

good question chap.. I am not in such a position but would similarly like to know.
I do have that tech CD which has file recovery software on it that runs on boot up but i doubt that does ext3.
