lennierv Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I was reinstalling my xp on my hardisk with 2 partitions. My first partition had all my data (40Gb) and I reinstalled xp on top of it after I performed quick format on it...Any idea how to unformat or recover data?I have tried (recover my files 9.4).. I don't see the data I need, it appeares all scattered...
Ponch Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 (edited) Hi,depending on the fact you've used nLite or not, up to 3 Gig of your data might have been overwritten (unrecoverable) at the beginning of the partition. Most if not all recovery programs are commercial and not free. What you will find plenty of is "demo versions" that will only tell you if the file is recoverable or not.The most important is that you immediately stop working from that partition (XP keeps writing files while working) and scan the drive from an other partition, an other drive or a floppy. Good luck. Double check next time you format a partition. Edited July 11, 2006 by Ponch
