You didn't learn your lesson the first time? You should not expect to recover anything after formatting a drive -- anything you get is "gravy". – Daniel R Hicks Oct 18 '12 at 0:55

I don't know what an "icare" is. But to answer your question:

  • If you have overwritten areas of the drive that used to contain the data you want, then the answer is no, you cannot recover that data.

  • If the areas of the drive have not been overwritten, the answer is yes, you can recover that data.

Since we don't do software recommendations, I suggest you have a look on Google or Bing, and find some software that has a good record for data recovery.

Failing that, look at paying someone to recover your data.

Recommending software in the course of an answer is fine, if done properly (and as long as the question is not just asking for software recommendations: meta.superuser.com/questions/5329/… – Bob Oct 18 '12 at 4:46
In that case, I'd recommend www.lowcostrecovery.com for great service and reasonable prices. – Randolph West Oct 18 '12 at 17:35
