Getting out of big dodo with an recover/format command?

Hi all,

Is it possible to "unformat" to a prior format so I can
get the files off the "old" format under NTFS?
The install routine formated the wrong partition and
now my pictures aren't listed in the new format,
of course. Is it possible to undo ones steps? I have
already taken the drive out and put it in another
computer as a slave. The second computer sees
the drive fine but my pictures are not there. Is
there any way to backtrack a format command?

thanks,
charles.....
 
I did find file recovery programs that work but they all seem
to want a big fee.

later......

No, but you can try a file recovery tool, like this one (freeware):
