thanks for the reply in future before i format my pc is there a way to save my wallet and get it back after formatting

Just use the export private key feature, and password protect it.
Just store it in your email, and you should be set.

If it has not been overwritten a good runtime recovery could do it as pedrog said
Just in case i'll mention recuva if the other one fails.

Over time can we expect many users to have lost BTC due to similar issues (bringing the total BTC available to less than 21mil) and they would not be recoverable by anyone?

I generate keys from bitaddress.org and always have a copy of the private key. It's the one that starts with 5xxx...

You just keep that somewhere and you're good.
