Actually if the data is not overwritten, you could recover data after many formats. I have personally taken a 60GB drive that contained data on 1 single partition, formatted it as 1 partition, then formatted as 2 partitions, then 4 partitions, and was still able to recover data.
Now if you overwrite the data, then no you probably cannot without the use of some hardware techniques (MFM etc.).

Dear Michael ! This is an urban legend. Please type "overwritten data recovery" into Google search. You will see the results. Please read the first 5 hits. You will get the answer.
