I cleaned up a friends machine that had a lot of spyware, adware and a couple of virus. I ended up re-formatting after they said they didn't need any of the files. As it turnes out, they need a couple of word documents.

Is there a way to recover these after formatting the machine? I did not re-partition. I installed XP Pro whereas it had XP Home on it before

Thanks in advance
