Most people think formatting wipes your drive completely clean. This is not true unless you are using one of the ultra powerful data deletion programs designed to totally eliminate every trace of data on a hard drive.

There are programs out there that can still read the data. Your directories will most likely be a bit fucked up, but individual files have a good chance of recovery.

There are also labs you can send it to also that charge about $1000 and up to recover data.
