Since you overwrote the contents of the drive with a bunch of new data, there is very little chance you will get those files back -- they were probably overwritten with new data when you installed. In addition, by formatting the drive, you erased all the file entries in the disk structure table, which complicates things further.
You can try software called "Data Rescue" -- http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/1133 -- but be aware that the chances of recovering these files is pretty close to nil. There are other options, such as professional data recovery services like www.drivesavers.com, but be aware that services such as this can run anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a thousand dollars, depending on the amount of data to be recovered and the difficulty of the process.
