If it's a quick format (very likely), that means that only the data 
index was gone. You can mount the CF disk in a USB disk reader and it 
will show up on the windows desktop. At that point it's just like any 
other pice of media with a file system on it and the standard windows 
(Norton) undelete recovery programs should be able to help.
