Help DROID2 Global Data Recovery

Hi all, new guy here. Got a DROID2 problem, hoping there is an answer.

Boss has had a DROID2 Global for about a year, decided she wanted an iphone so I got her one. Backed up the SD card, moved her pics and vids over to the new phone and then locked her old one up. Waited a couple weeks and then asked if she was cool with the phone being wiped and reissued to another user, she said it was fine.

Now a couple weeks after that she's asking me if its possible to recover some text messages. Grrrr!

Now I know texts aren't backed up to the Verizon cloud backup and the SMS database doesn't seem to be on the SD card backup, so I'm left with trying to find a way to hopefully recover files on a phone thats been through a hard reset (if it makes a difference I did the pne through the privact menu).

So, any thoughts? I have a data recovery program but it won't read the phone's memory because the phone is mounting itself as a CDROM to my windows 7 pc. I can read and run data recovery on the SD card just fine since it shows up as a more conventional removable drive.

So, any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
