thats my biggest fear as well....of course i forgot to add that you can perfom the above if there is any data left! you said you have started formatting and i am not sure what data has been wiped out.
as far as 3rd party software, what would u suggest (if mentioning a certain brand is against board policy, i apologize for my violation)?

you can use Winternals Administrators, you can create a bootable disk which has an operating system running on it (running all from CD) and you could access functionalities such as buring to CD's or transfering through the network.
But it relies on some functionality of your operating system! I can't garantee that would work. Your safest and most cheapest bet is to slave your HDD to another machine and copy your data through.
