Recuva has been proven not so good at recovering files from a formatted drive (I mean quick-format or complete-format) or partition loss situations. In your case, take a try of this data recovery tool, http://www.anysoftwaretools.com/file-recovery.html
Try the function “Format Recovery”. Though it’s not freeware, trial version allows you to evaluate whether the formatted files are reocoverable or not.
