Just wanted to let you all know that I actually solved the problem!!!
I used a couple of different program before I tried EasyRecovery from
Ontrack. After a long scan of my disk I found the file. It was not named the
same but had a number instead and was just one out of thousands of similar
files. Luckily it was among the first five I checked out.
Amazing that its possible after formating, deleting partition, creating new
partition and installing a bunch of stuf in that partition.
Thanks for all your help and interest.

inexpensive adapters & enclosures exist to connect the drive to a
desktop- if you can easily figure out how to get it out of the
laptop...
