after dropping the table ,
what are u commiting to?
DROP table is a DDL. an implicit COMMIT would
be issued.
eventually, whether u commit or not, your table is gone.

Sure. The data will be still on the hard drives where you stored. It's not actually removed, just the OS block pointers are removed. If you can read bites and link them, then you can find it.

In your last backup the data will be there too. :-))

Now, seriously..

If you have 9i, and you configured flashback feature - then the data will be in your undo segments. Setup the flashback of the time of dropping and you will see your data.

You can use LogMiner too, to restore the dropped data as well.
