I've used recuva and undelete for disk recovery. I haven't used them for sd cards. Their sites do say they will work with sd cards though. Some work free, some work as a trial or just recover 2 documents and you have to pay to recover the rest. Either way you can run them and at least see if they are recoverable or not.

I tried Recuva and it does not recognize the D7100 as a drive. I cannot use the SD card yet because my computer is broken. Seems like none of the recovery programs recognize the camera as a drive. Just have to hope when I get my computer fixed it will work using the sd card

Hooking up the D7100 won't do the trick - you'll need to connect the SD card directly to a computer and start the recovery from there. Don't despair, though - your odds of eventually recovering all your pics are very high if all you did is formatting the card in your camera.

It is recommended to connect your SD card directly to a computer via a card reader. Free data recovery tools such as Recuva, TestDisk, etc. should be able to recover lost jpg files from your SD card. If they can not restore the lost photos, you can try more image recovery tools such as SoftHow, Stellar and more. Good luck!
