If you formatted a drive then the only chance of recovering data is data recovery software such as UFS Explorer. Formatting a drive that contains data is not the correct way to handle drives that suddenly gets reported as unmountable. The correct way to proceed is covered here in the online documentation accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI or the DOCS link at the top of each forum page. Quote Link to comment

No. When you selected the option to format it would have warned you that doing so would update parity to say the disk would then have an empty formatted disk and it was NOT the way to proceed if you wanted to keep the data. As I said your only chance is to use specialist disk recovery software such as UFS Explorer or something similar. Quote Link to comment
