Data Recovery for Formatted Hard Drive
I changed the O/S to Windows XP Professional. Ive fitted a spare hard drive and formatted that via disk management. There were 4 user accounts on the pc and i backed up my mum and dads files, but little did i know my brother had images from his holiday in his account. Does anyone know of any free data recovery software that will allow me to retrieve those images? And if i do have to pay for one? What is the best one to use? This was only done yesterday, so there may still be time to retrieve them (i hope) please please please help thank you |

What kind of format did you do, a quick or full format? If it was a full format, I think you're out of luck. With a quick format the files might be recoverable, though. Unfortunately I don't know of any software you can use to do it. The only way I've heard of recovering data like this is to ship the drive off to a company that does it. :(
