Reformatted drive recovery

[Kelsenellenelvian]

OK heres the deal:

Some smartass took my disk and auto'ed his PC. (OK it was a friend but I mean the choice "Automatic Installation" means just that right?)

Now he needs crucial data off the formatted and installed Windows + Apps drive.

I took the drive out and have it slaved to my computer so its not being used.

What is the best recovery software? Price isn't really an option here (I did say crucial right?)

Sor far using a couple standard apps I have recovered like 40 gigs of assorted folders and files I need to sort through, but it doesn't look like the files are there.

You can try demo of this and see what can you digg out from that disk?

I've used it before and it's really good.

You can also try Undelete Professional

Used it and it worked very well.

If it is a Maxtor or Seagate drive you can get help from them.

Seagate Recovery Services

I'm sure other manufacturers offer similar services.

U may try R-Studio software. This is the files best app a used to recover files.

But like u said. A windows had reinstalled over formatted HDD.

Files at the beginning of HDD sectors may not recovered. (New windows files overwritted that sectors)

Today my friend came with just same problem.

He just wanted his photos. We coluld recover over %95 of files

I hope u can recover all file u need.

PS:

I'll try it also, since I often get request for restore of deleted data without a backup
