Grab a copy, FREE, of http://pclinuxos.com, burn it and boot it in the CDrom. you can inspect the drive, and if the data is still there, remote it over to an external drive, or even burn it to CD or DVD!
Linux can read and write NTFS and FAT32 formatted drives. I use it to recover Mac HFS+ systems that customers kludge up...
Yes, even after a re-format... but, If I can't recover it, then Drive Savers usually can, starting at $500. Those are usually the drives where the bearings failed... They install the platter on their spindle, and use their heads, in a "100,000 clean room" where everyone is in a "bunny suit". you supply a drive, or let them buy you one, upon which to put the saved data.
For either of us, it often involves hundreds of re-wipes of the drive, to recover all the pieces of data...
It depends upon how important you rate your data.

Check in the recycle bin, and restore the files if they are in there.
