You should have kept your data backed up on a separate hard drive (for example, an external hard drive).

You cannot recover data if you have installed Windows on the space where the data was. That is to say, you can't do it on the same computer.

Only one way might work. Remove the drive and install it on a different computer as a second drive.
Then install partition recovery software: http://www.partition-recovery.com/download.html

When you have recovered your data and copied it to a different hard drive, put your drive back in to your computer and install Windows again because the partition recovery will have overwritten the existing Windows installation.
