At this point it'd take less time to recreate the folder. You could buy
some software that scans the whole surface looking for data fragments, and
that's what you'd likely end up with at best, only fragments of files, not
useable files, if the whole thing wasn't completely overwritten by
installing XP and usage thereafter.

So the short answer is "no".
