I accidentally formatted an external hard drive on mac with Disk Utility from NTFS to FAT32. I'm looking at TestDisk to see if I'm able to recover the data that was on there, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it back..

Is this even possible? And if so, how would I do this?

You may have an opportunity if you made a quick format (which delete the data asignation table and not the real data) and not a long format (which replace the data of your harddisk with zeros).

I recommend you recuva, it's a windows only recovery tool which will recover your files if them are still there.

There is another similar question with various answers with more applications to test if recuva don't work for you.
