Disk recovery software should work, though you might not get the whole
drive back. Even a formated drive can have data recovered from it. I
would take a look at the following:

Others around here may have their own favorites. You need another drive
to copy the files onto. It's a non-destructive process when done this way.
There are possibilities that you could also recover the boot sector
using one of many programs capable of doing this. I would first use one
of the above methods though before going down that line, but it is quite
possible that the drive and data is perfectly fine and just had it's
boot sector wiped out.
I'll bet that Andrew has some nifty hints along these lines too.

I was installing a new workstation with XP Pro, and I had a USB drive
connected to it. I guess that was stupid. Anyway, after one of the
many reboots for installing soaftware, etc., this USB drive became
"unformatted". I can see the drive letter, but not the name, capacity,
or free space. When I double-click the drive letter, I get a pop-up
saying the disk is not formattedand asking whether I would care to
format it. Of course, I answered no. In the hope that the problem was
with the USB interface, I removed the drive from the enclosure and
mounted it in a W2003 server. It produces the same result.
Does anybody know if there are any fixes for this, or is my data well
and truly hosed?
