Stody damaging first!

First of all, stop doing damage to your hard drive first! The DELL's little D drive maybe your computer Vista image, now you've get rid of it, you may not have your old Vista back, well if that matters.

Once you got a new drive install system and up, try use USB to link your old drive on. Seems you are still having partition table on it, recover is possible and easier. Normally, the format command doesn't erase every byte of sectors, but re-index them. If you were using quick format, your chance is larger.

I've used
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk to recover partition table and search for file one by one. It is slow and with DOS like interface, but effective.

If you can see your drives through USB, Use following program to first detect if there is any old file structure left, usually there are two MFT: "undeleteplus", http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/downloads/recover_data_after_format_software/ or

If the format has been done so thoroughly, you may try "finaldata" to search every sector. "finaldata" is not free, need to search for it. Most recovered files are unrecognized, unless it is clearly Jpeg, zip, or EXE.

It is possible that all you find is crap, and sorry, there is no way.
