Data Recovery

[switchboarder]

I need a program to recover all of the data on a formated drive

I you mean recovering from a full-formatted drive, I think it is not possible. But if it is formatted with quick parameter, you can recover with "GetDataBack" which is very useful and easy-to-use program.

please, give more info...

any case, if you only format a driver using logical parameter you need a programa for access "data stored" on the surface plate.

Using getdataback and ignore FAT, let Get....back to analyse and find written information, then save to another location, never on the same driver.
hope this serve.

Hi There

You need to think of a hard disk drive as a big book. In most cases, formatting a drive is like tearing out the contents page. It means that the book no longer makes sense - but the pages are still there!

All you need is a utility (or patience) to rewrite the contents for you. I would suggest that depending on the operating system you try one of the following: Easy Recovery (

or Final Data or perhaps PC Inspector - freeware.

Any of these should be able to do the job in a short space of time - normally work on 5 hours /10Gb.

Good luck.
