yes, it didnt find anything. My brothers computer xp you just got to do a search of files and folders and you'll find deleted files from past formatting etc. I don't know why vista cant do that. so im looking for a program to help me out

I have a work around way with no recovering programs although a bit complicated:

1.I reinstall windows without reformatting or deleting any part of ex windows.(side by side)

2.Using the new installed windows,I copy all the files I want from ex windows to for example: D partition.

3.Format the partition where Windows (the two of them) are installed and reinstall Windows again.

 

I know it sounds insane ,I personally did it and saved EVERYTHING I wanted, and in my case Windows was completely disabled .The first installation saved the files and with the second installation(after reformatting) I put back all the files where they originally were...... ;)

Have a look at this program: http://www.tucows.com/article/1711 It claims it can recover data from a formatted drive.

 

This one seems more professional though: http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/
