H Bandit65 I have heard good things about this software on formatted drives.

Power Data Recovery is a risk-free and READ ONLY data recovery utility that helps you in recovering your all important data lost after accidental format, virus problems, software malfunction, file/directory deletion, or even a sabotage! It is an easy to use data recovery utility that examines your inaccessible hard drives for damages and corruptions and recovers the data back. The supported file systems: FAT 12/16/32 (used by hard disks, disks, Smartmedia™, Compact Flash™, Memory Stick and other) and NTFS (used by hard drives). It is easy to use and 4 steps to recover your lost data, no technical knowledge needed. It has the ability to scan all volumes in a local machine and build a directory tree of all lost and deleted files. It can save data to any windows (including network drives, removable media, etc.) drive possible. It supports NTFS compressed and encrypted files. It supports Dynamic Volume: Simple Volume, Spanned Volume, Stripe Volume, Mirror Volume,Raid-5 Volume. It has the ability to resume the last recovery result.
Here cd data recovery software, recover data, easy software

I used GetDataBack for NTFS when I had to retrieve some files off a HD that was accidently unformatted via a POS emachines computer, it's $80 (or it was) but I was impressed, they also make it for FAT, here's a link: Data Recovery Software - Hard Drive Recovery - RAID Data Recovery
But yeah, as madmatt said, there are no good free ones, I tried em all

No prob, actually I just had another problem in which Fdisk read my G drive (with all my files) as my C drive and when I went to unformat my C drive to clear it it unformatted my G drive, I wasn't happy but I have my GetDataBack license and once again it performed beautifully
