    Hi arsehley,

    You should be able to recover files even fter a quick format. You will not be able to recover any that have been overwritten , however.

    See my post here for free apps. that will help

    Some apps. don't work after a format - those do, as you can see.

    There is one here that may also be useful - takes a very long time - try Recuva and Pandora first.
