If you formatted your hard drive without backing up your data, it's
unlikely you'll be able to recover anything. You might be able to send the
hard drive to a data recovery service, but those are pricey (and you'd
want to stop using the computer immediately - the more you use it, the
less likely you can recover anything).

You can google for words like disk recover format undelete ....although
I'm not sure what you'll find.

Next time (right now) place your PST file in a folder under My Documents.
It's easy to backup the My Documents folder and all of its contents.
