recovery of encrypted disk

I have a Buffalo 4-disks RAID 5 external USB drive. It was encrypted with
Secure Lock Ware. The drive was accidently reformatted (quick format) by
Vista OS during the PC Complete Restore process. How can I recovery the
original state of the external hard disk? Is there a software product that
you recommend that I can use to recover lost encrypted RAID 5 disk?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link, however it didn't work with the demo version. I got a
dialog box--Recover Data has stopped working. I have tried all demo versions
of Zero Assumption Recovery, Data Doctor Recovery, Disk Doctors, EASEUS Data
Recovery, and Nucleus Kernel... but none of them worked. I am still looking...

You're wasting your time. From what you said it sounds like not only
did you allow the drives to be formatted, but you made a restore
meaning many of the sectors probably got overwritten. The chances of
anything recovering any meaningful amount of data is very slim. I hope
you have backup.
