Corrupted files in a formatted hard disk

Photos and files from my hard disk were corrupted and after recovery was done only a few were recovered. After recovery, the hard disk was reformatted. Is there any way I could still recover all the photos and files?

It's possible, but depends
It's possible, but depends on how much you have used the computer since it was reformatted. Reformatting and deleting only mark files as deleted or reformatted, but the actual files are still there until they are overwritten (until other files are saved to the same area of the hard drive). You can find more information on how this works, along with a program called iRecover that I recommend for data recovery jobs here: http://www.rickysays.com/recover-deleted-files
