formatted my HDD and microSD, and am trying to recover it, but to no avail.

Had so far tried recuva (free version) and 4card recovery.

Will be trying recovermyfiles later.

Did you do a full or quick format?

Seems Win7 and later version performs a secure format for full format and you'll not be able to recover your data.

HDD was formatted using the windows installer format program.

microSD was formatted twice, once full and once quick.

recovermyfiles didn't manage to retrieve anything.

sigh

Windows installer does a quick format. You should be able to recover the data, using easeUs. Surprise recovermyfiles cannot find anything.

As for the microSD, doubt you can recover any files.

You can try Rescue Pro Deluxe from Sandisk. A one year subscription comes free with certain Sandisk cards.

You can recover (easily) from quick formats, which just writes a new file and directory tables. However, full formats essentially initialize the entire disk, ie write over everything with zeros. Only forensic recovery tools (out of reach for home users) can attempt to recover.

If GetDataBack can't find anything by scanning, nothing you can do without professional help.

did u try the EaseUS Tool?

considering you did a full format, the chances of recovery drops alot.:(

Flash drive works differently from hard drive. Once you delete very hard to recover
