I have had alot of good success with a program called Easyrecovery. There are a few different versions of the program but i was able to recover files from a drive once that was formatted twice. Not low level format but just using the windows format.

Like it has been said, try to set the drive you want to recover the data off of as a slave to another in another system. do not reinstall windows or any programs on the drive before you try to recover files becasuse you could end up over writting files.

Good Luck!
