Can i get my data back after the hdd is formated?

Hi everyone,

Can I get my data back when the hdd is formated? i actually installed windows again by using hdd recovery disk.i thought my recovery partition will be not be affected and my data will remain their but even that partition is being formated i guess.Can I get my data back?

Please tell me some way to get this data back any software something! I would be really thankful to you guys.

Thanks in advance

Regards

If you’d just reformatted the drive, but not written any new files to the disk, your chances of reovery would have been excellent. All the format really does is mark everything as usable.

But when Windows is reinstalled, that overwrites any earlier data on those areas of the disk. Anything overwritten is gone.

You could try some of the undelete utilities from download.com to see if they can salvage anything from areas that didn’t get blasted by the new install, or go with a professional data recovery service for best results… but they are expensive.

    YES YOU CAN…
    you need to run "UNDELETE or UNFORMAT"
    software programs…they are available over the internet
    i have a disk that has just such a program
    but
    if you take it to a DATA RECOVERY specialist expect to pay about $20/Meg
    and to them if out of say a 1.5 TERAByte drive they recover only 1 file then it was a success
    it will run you a truck load of cash so unless it’s family photos that are irreplaceable
    i would not even bother
    but yes it can be done bottom line…

  8. once you found you accidentally formatted hard disk, please to ensure that the formatted hard disk is not overwritten.

    You still have a chance to recover all data from formatted hard disk so long as there is no new data stored on after formatting. What you need is just a data recovery tool, for example Wondershare Data Recovery. http://www.disk-utilities.com/data-recovery/index.html#198

    1. Select the formatted hard disk to scan
    When you open the application, you will find there’re four options for recovery. Choose the second, Format Recovery, and then select the partition you formatted. Next, you can select the file system for your formatted hard disk or just left as Auto Detect.

    2.Choose your target files
    Here you can see all recoverable files on the formatted hard disk are listed. You can choose files or folders to continue recovery.

    3. Select or enter a path for saving recovered data.
    It’s highly suggested that you never to select a path that is located in the formatted hard disk that you’re searched data from, in case it would eventually overwrite the source data.
