Restore from a backup. Unless you are using database snapshots in SQL Server 2005, or you ran a SELECT ... INTO to another table before dropping the want you want to get back, you won't be able to get the table back without restoring from a backup.

You can restore a backup temporarily to another database name, then copy the table from the restored database to the existing database and drop the restored database.

snSQL's suggestion is applicable only when you were careful enough to maintain regular database backups before doing nasty things like dropping table.
