I agree with Derek. I've used Recuvva to recover lots of files. Not everything will be recoverable but a lot will. It takes several hours to run the scans so you might want to do it overnight or while your at work. One issue I did have with it is that sometimes the titles will be mixed up. (ex: a song with the title of an audiobook)
