Data recovery

I have a friend who has a personal buisness and she works from home. And while a friend was helping her configure and move some data of hers they had a little accident. It seems like the friend moved some files to an aditional HDD for back up purposes. Then formated the original HDD not knowing that the application/contact info didn't get moved onto the new HDD, just some of the files.

Is there anyway to get this info back after the drive has been formated..or is she screwed.

Thanks.
 
If you formatted drive ONLY and didn't perform another operation, didn't write the new data to the drive over this space, your state isn't so bad. This way you may also use the tool called Disk Director in addition to the utility named above.
 
Two tools we use to fantastic success at my job are GetDataBack (for FAT or NTFS - lets you scan in demo mode, then if it finds something, you can buy a key and insert it at that time to recover data) and DataRescue (PC and Mac versions), needs a license before it can be run, but tends to be more successful in my experience (maybe just because we use it more since you can boot a system from it as opposed to the alternative methods we use to make GetDataBack work).

If you find that the drive was quick formatted instead of full formatted, you can have much higher hopes for good data recovery.
