- recover data from reformatted hard drive
- Posted by macy on January 23rd, 2008
As my windows xp acting slow as a snail, i intend to reinstall windows
to the
drive C(only windows files stored on it). I also have drive D and
drive E used
for store my personal data. But before reinstallment i reformatted the
whole
hard disk by mistake. The problem is: i did not back up drive D and E.
So the
data were gone.
i downloaded free data recovery software from software website but it
didn't
work. Should i turn to other unfree software or take my hard disk to
professional data recovery company? Anyone has suggetion on it?
Thanks!!!

Did you install the data recovery porgram on drive d and e? This cause
overwritten. If it was overwritten, the data lost permanently.
Taking to professional team usually cost too much. It's not difficult
using data recovery software. Try this Easeus Data Recovery Wizard

Try the demo to see if it recover your files before purchase.

If so, you may beable to use recovery software to determine the old
partitions start and then recover your data.
You have a good chance that the reformat, and reload of the operating
system will not have overwritten the area where the previosu
partitions were.
What ever you do, you must not write ANYTHING to this existing drive,
as an overwritten sector is lost for ever.

Macy and Luce are likely one and the same, trying to flog 'their' software.
Which, of course, is why you also are responding, to do the same.
