If you have a card reader that will allow you connect the card to your PC via a USB port then you might want to try this:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemrescuecd/

It's an open source based boot CD which includes a utility called TestDisk which will examine any drive (even a USB pendrive) and try to find/repair any partitions on it.

sounds more like "... lost while *successfully* formatting ..." to me :rotfl:

SanDisk used to supply a program called RescuePro with some of their cards, which seems quite good. A lot more techie to use, but WinHex has recovered stuff that I couldn't get back with more 'usual' software - but a lot of effort unless the stuff is really worth saving.
