rikgale Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 If you've formatted as well as installed the chances are that this file have been over written with the new data that you've added onto the drive. You mite be able to get them back if you were to send the drive away to an expert data recovery specialist but that woul be an very expensive option.

xrobwx71 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 (edited) You can try Spinrite for about $90.I bought it and have had success recovering lost files. No promises though. I have never tried to recover a "formatted" drive. Just read the FAQ at the link I provided.Robhttp://www.grc.com/sr/faq.htm Edited July 23, 2005 by xrobwx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
