Both of these are good replies. Don't use the drive any more. Mount it as a read/only secondary drive. If you can find wallet.dat, that's great. If not, some sort of NTFS recovery utility might help you get it. Recuva might work, but I haven't used it before.
If you still can't get it, you'll want to dump the partition and have someone else take a look for it. In Unix/Linux you can use dd, on Windows I think it's rawwrite. How big is the partition? You can maybe dump it and compress it at the same time to help cut down on the size (dd if=/dev/sdb | lzop -o file.lzo), for example). Then upload it to someone to take a look at.
Anyone agreeing to look at it should download it to a device which they zero out afterwards, even if they can't find it. Especially depending on how many digits this wallet goes to. If you get the coins back, send them all to a new address so even if they have the wallet, it's all been spent.
