The answer is a highly qualified "maybe", depends on overall condition of the drive, how far along you are after the format, has anything else been written on the drive, and requires specialized software or use of a specialist company (which is really expensive per mb).

One possible solution is Lost & Found from www.powerquest.com. Also you might look at other parts of their site regarding data recovery as they are specialist in both the software and the processes.

Another possible solution is Norton at www.symantec.com

I think both of those have trial versions that you could download that might help you.

Another good site to visit would be www.ontrack.com they are also specialist in this type of harddrive utility and service.
