A quick format merely 'deletes' all files. By this, it empties the File Allocation Table, so while the files still exist, there's nothing to say what they are or where. However, some data recovery software can piece together files whose FAT entries have been lost or corrupted.

A full format zeroes all data on the disk, destroying everything.

As RaceProUK suggested before, the only way is to try and use file recovery tools like undelete, etc.

There might be a chance that the contents can still be recovered from your hard disk. But note that this is just a chance, it is never garantueed to work. And the chances of recovery decrease rapidly the longer you wait and do other stuff on your PC (like browsing the web).
