Data Recovery from Formated Hard Drive

I recently got a data recovery task. My co-worker asked me to see if I could get some files off his Seagate 160GB hard drive. Before, he took his netbook to the computer shop and he specifically told them to back his data up. Well, the computer shop never backed his data up, instead they entirely wiped the hard drive and his data is gone. I know there is some software out there to retrieve the files from before hand. What software is capable of that? The hard drive is in perfect health right now. I would like to get his pictures at the very least. I can only use free software, but I heard Kali or Backtrack can possibly do what I need to do? Any help will be grateful!

Recuva should work.

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...
