Any chance I could recover files off a harddrive that has been reformated?

So long as all you've done is re-format and NOT written any new data onto the drive then there is a pretty good chance of recovery... use one of the data recovery applications that are advertised just about everywhere!

It also depends on the type of format that was done. A quick format may be recoverable, but a full format that writes to every sector and tests it for defects will wipe out all the data.
