Hi, 

 

I don't for sure, but if your lucky you can read back the programming of the device.  

You will not be able to recover your complete project.

Unfortunately you will be able only to recover a binary programming file but not the source code.

Connect the programmer to your board -> choose Examine  

This loads the programming dataint oa temporary file. 

 

Then choose "Save file"

When you has opened the programmer click on "Add device" and choose your device. 

After that the examine option will be available.

Did you use the "JTAG" programming mode ? Unfortunately I have not the Quartus 8.0 Web edition available, but in the 8.1 Version I'm able to switch the examine feature on.
