Recovering data from a formatted WD My book Drive

[dgreen]

Hi,

I have a WD My book drive which suddenly become unrecognisable when connected to my laptop.
It contained data I wanted but I could not retrieve any of it.
I eventually formatted the drive as I gave up trying but now I believ it is still possible to retrieve the data, is this true and if so how ?
Thanks

If you formatted chances are your only choice is a data recovery company...not cheap...
