The Mac and PC use different file formats. If he reformatted your drive using Mac formatting then you will not be able to read it.

Try the free software at www.easeus.com - it might be able to recover the old partition.
Good Luck

Next time make sure that you have a partition formatted in FAT32. That is the only common format that the Mac and PC can read/write.
