I use a freeware program called Recuva to retrieve 'missing' files. Details at http://www.piriform.co​m/recuva/features (external link)

I can't help you recover your files this time but I would suggest always having a backup somewhere handy just in case something like this happens in the future.

Step 1: Invent time machine
Step 2: Use time machine
Step 3: Backup files before formatting drive.

By reformatting the drive, and then installing windows over it, in all likely hood, you have already overwritten the bits that were used to store your photos. Unless you've got hard core data forensics utilities at your disposal, it's unlikely you'll recover anything, but you can try something like Recuva. You could get lucky.

If you ever accidentally delete a file, the first step is not to do anything else to the drive.

You're going to have to pay several hundred bucks for a data recovery company to look at the drive, More for them to recover data from it, and they might not get the data you want.
