I will give you advice on the problem that you are experiencing. Yes you can retrieve data before or after reformatting but it its a 50-50 chance if the file you saved on your flashdrive can be still recovered. Try putting your flashdrive on other ports of the computers or on other computers. You may try this programs on your file recovery before formatting your flashdrive  Pandora Recovery, Recuva  and use this program in formatting your flashdrive  HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool  and I will provide you the links on the programs

Dear Aldrin,

There are many software available on internet to recover deleted files from hard disk as well as from usb drive.

You can use many software to recover data files from usb drive.

But the usb drive has less chance to recover 100% accurate files.

I will suggest you to use Power Data Recovery.

You can download it from this link.

I hope it will help you.

Thanks
