dvdgorila Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Good luck. Ive never had any success with unformating. You can try Ontrack easy recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T D Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 If you selected "Quick format", you can use data recovery tools. If you did the full format, get an electron microsope, $40000 and 6 months and you MAY be able to recover about 30mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Your chance of recovery diminishes every time you write on the HD so don't do anything on this partition or drive. Install any tools elsewhere and mount the disk as slave.Important data should not be stored in C and should have regular backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen2 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 You should try tools like acronis recovery expert (now included with disk director suite) or R-studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptMurphy Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hmm, like the others said; look for a a recovery program. I'd recommend Active@undelete. There's other utils from Active, but here's the site for undelete:http://www.active-undelete.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmshah Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Visit the following site for a free recovery programme. It has recovered even from hidden / deleted partitions so long as these were not overwritten.www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/UK/welcome.htmYou can also try bootitng from terabyteunlimited. It can undelete partitions without any loss. It operates without any OS loaded. Please do read the help section on undelete partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bledd Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 this works and has saved me in the past, takes about 1 minute!download testdisk ( http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download )run it and it'll scan your drives for recently deleted partitions and it'll just re-write them ini deleted my 300gb external backup hard drive partition once by accident when installing windows, this bought it back, have had no problems at all with itand its freeware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda43 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Bledd,If you accidently reformatted your C: drive, how would you use the program to recover it?Does it have to be run from a boot disk or from within windows?Some info here on the application of the program would be very helpful here to me and those reading the forum.Thanks in advance,Andromeda43PS: How's the summer weather in Wales?

pmshah Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 PC Inspector does not need local installation. You can install it on some other pc. Simply include these files in BartPE & run it. I use Bootitng as my boot manager. I have over 15 primary partitions on. This record is maintained by bootitng in its own database on its own parition. As and when you boot it makes different primary(ies) & extended partition as visible, rest of the space being shown as unused. There is no trace of these paritions in the mbr. Even in this state PC Inspector finds all these hidden (or deleted equivalent) partitions & offers to retrieve files from them. It is definitely worth a try.
