Urgent: How can I recover/restore an overwritten database?

Hi, I have a database DB_A running in a SQL Server 2000. And I have accidently restore DB_B against the DB_A and causing the database files (data & log) being overwritten and I have no way to recover it.

May I know how can I recover/restore the DB_A and without losing its data & log file? This is urgent, any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I tried to use several data recovery software and can't see the DB_A.mdf & DB_A.ldf files that have been replaced/overwritten.... still trying

Currently in Enterprise Manager, it still showing DB_A, but its content is actualyl content of DB_B, and the files name are DB_B.mdf & DB_B.ldf... No more DB_A.mdf & DB_A.ldf...

Hi, you guys are correct, there is no way out since there is no backup for the DB_A for restore... Thank you...
