Wow!!! I wish I had read this thread sooner. If you have not written over either of those two harddrives there is a very good chance you can get your data back. A windows format clears out the index to the files. The files themselves should still be there and can be recovered.

There are some software utilities out there that do this.


Here is one software app that recovers a formatted harddrive I found on Cnet after a quick search. There are many others.
