Is it possible to recover data after a HD is formatted?

I'm having this issue with my HD not showing up anything but blibber blabber, because I plugged in a new MOBO/processor and it won't boot correctly. It was having the "NTLDR is missing" thingy, but I realized when I looked at the drive it's complete screwed up. All the files that were in there originally are not showing up and when placed as a secondary HD it gives me this funky jazz about not being accessable.

My only option at this point seems to be formatting the HD, but I have so much work on there I couldn't imagine losing forever.... I know there's data recovery programs out there, but is it even possible to recover data after a HD has been formatted?
