You'll find it on UTorrent.
I recently did the same and formatted the PC and lost everything, good luck finding what your looking for though, I had tens of thousands of images and various junk to sift through, Infact there was so much crap to look through to get what I was after I said **** it and just left it.

I've used this as well with good succes, I also used another program (its on the PC at work and can't for life of me remember what it is). Its mainly suited for getting back jpegs as well as documents, so is ideal.
For now unplug that hard drive and don't use it as a boot drive. As reading/writing of data as part of the operating system (temp files, cache, swap files etc) will further destroy any old (deleted) data.
PS...it also recovered a substantial amount of stuff in my internet cache dating back several years, even though its cleared off daily!! That could be embarrasing in the wrong hands

It appears that I removed the program
I think it was 'R-undelete'.
But either way try Recuva first, but set it on its most intensive mode: It'll take the best part of a day at the very least to recover all the data, depending on how large the drive is.

Doubt any other software will be any faster.
It took an entire weekend to do my HD (320gig). You'll lose the directory structure, so you'll have to sift through lots of dross. I recommend sorting by file size, and look at the largest stuff first.

if she's installed windows XP again, she may have lost a LOT of her data, but the recovery programs above should be ok.
I got stuffed when my SSD failed and all my work was held within a virtual file. problem is, being a developer, the recovery software didnt recognise VBP or 7Zip files. Good Luck Though!

i don't want to be a doom and gloom merchant, but I doubt you will get much useable data back
the install of a new Windows OS will play havoc with the FAT table and it will have written 1 and 0's all over the disk
hindsight is a wonderfull thing, but as soon as the drive was re-formatted it should have been removed and "slaved" to another PC to be interogated
hope you get it back though

I did remove the drive straight away , it has only booted up twice prior to me taking it out as they could not understand why thier files were gone I'm doubtfull it will recover as well but we will see as I have recovered a drive before in the past and the stuff it got back was not useable.

Yeah as said you might get lucky but you'll have to sift through a load of ****!
Just to chuck another program into the mix, I've used "iCare data Recovery Software" before with some good results.

well it appears that Recuva has revcovered all the stuff i wanted, the pictures folder is a bit big as its recovered loads of pictures from games etc. Thats up to them to delete those I'll just give them the drive back and the recovered stuff I'm going to put on a seperate portable hard drive so they can't do this again
