Contacts missing after I had to format, HELP!

Hi,

I�m new to this forum, at least as a poster. I have spent several days searching through the shared knowledge on here and have found it really helpful!

However, I have now come to a point where I cannot find a solution to my problem.

Yesterday morning i tried to turn my 3230 on and it wouldn�t boot. It always got stuck at the "Nokia" screen and seemed to try over and over again. After reading up on it here, I decided that what I needed to do was a format, which I did (hold "*" + "3" + "green phone dealy" while turning on the phone).

Well, the phone works again now... However, all of my contacts are gone! I thought they were supposed to be on my rs-mmc card (others/contacts), they are not there. I pulled out the card right after the formatting started, cause it came to me...

Still, all of my contacts are gone. No, I did not back them up recently, I know it's dumb. My hard drive crashed a few months ago.

Any ideas, guys?

I've tried a few data rescue/recovery apps on the card, but couldn�t find anything like a vcf file.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm really frustrated by now! Thank you!
