quick format does erase everything. format rechecks and redoes the structure of the hard drive (or something like that)
so you basically just reformatted  lol taht said, there are many file recovery tools http://www.google.com/search?q=free+file+recovery The first one looks good at a glance. Good Luck!

No, formatting just removes links to where the data is on the HDD. The data is still on the HDD, but the HDD doesn't know where it all is. It is still possible to recover what's on it, though. But there are no 100% guarantees with this.
The only difference between full-formatting and quick-formatting is that full-formatting checks the HDD for bad sectors before it formats. Quick does not. To completely blank the data out on a HDD you do a low-level format, aka "zeroing out the HDD." This destroys the links as well as the data itself.

Going Broke Overclocking
 
|
If I understand it correct ally, reformatting adds/changes the file extension so Window no longer sees it and is a reversible process so the files are in a manner of speaking, still there.
