Operating systems have come a long way in the past 10 years or so. Not that long ago, it wasn’t uncommon for simple application installations to corrupt the operating system to the point the drive or partition would have to be re-formatted, and the operating system would have to be reinstalled. Thankfully today, hard drive formatting is usually to setup partitions, or re-allocate existing resources. That being said, what happens if you come to realize that you needed some information from that freshly formatted drive? Your options are limited, but you still have options. So long as you haven’t started dumping a bunch of new data on to the re-formatted drive, you can use Stellar Windows Data Recovery to recover data from a re-formatted hard drive.
Can I Recover Files Manually?
The quick answer to this question is no. That being said, it is important to understand that the data you are looking for is still on the hard drive, and it is 100% feasible that with the help of third party software you’ll be able to restore the re-formatted hard drive.
How Can I Restore Files That Are Gone?
Simply put, the files aren’t really gone. They are still in the same location they were prior to the reformatting of the drive. The only thing that is gone is the record of their association with the physical address they occupy, and an indicator telling the disk and the operating system that the area is not available to be written to. With that understanding in hand, all you need is a solid data recovery software suite.
