Please help! How do I UNFORMAT my SD card? ?

I had about 5 months of unbacked up photos on my SD card, which was in my EEEPC when I was changing it from Linux to Windows XP. Stupid me, noticed the extra drive/partition, but wasn’t thinking straight and formatted all of it!

I’ve tried various freeware so far (eg. ones designed to undelete, but not necessarily to unformat) and so far none of them have been able to detect my drive or find my files. I did find one demo program that DID find my files, but I’m trying the avoid the hefty $ they want me to pay for that. Do you know of any free solutions that will help me to recover my formatted SD card and the .jpg files on it?

Thank you so much if you can help! :-)
