I tried several recovery programs, both free and evaluation versions. The
only program that would even see the drive as having anything on it was
Diskinternals. It was very slowly finding recoverable files, so I let it run
all night. When I checked in the morning there were a bunch of useless
windows files and a few folders, and (Oh Joy!) the Documents and Settings
folder! But alas, when I opened the folder it said "There are no recoverable
files in this folder." So I think I will up the chance that the drive is now
a paperweight to 99.9%.

From your explanation, there is a 99.5% chance the drive is now a
