If it is formatted but nothing has been written to the partition, then it is likely that you can recover at least some of the data. I prefer using testdisk from the System Rescue CD: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page I've had better luck using testdisk from there than from Debian or Ubuntu. As long you don't let testdisk write changes back to the partition, you leave open the possibility to try other things. Once you have testdisk scan the disk, you probably want to also do the deep scan, you can select the partition you think is correct and you should be given the option to view the files and copy them to another location.
