Partition accidentally formatted data recovery software needed

Asked By Julio V Carter 80 points N/A Posted on - 04/09/2013

Hi there,

Couple of hours ago I was doing a routing clean install of windows XP, and I don't know what got over me but I accidentally formatted a partition that had many audio and video files that I backed up from my music collection.

Therefore I need a formatted data recovery software, that will allow the recovery of files in a formatted partition

Hi Julio V Carter,

There are many reasons behind this. Partitions may be deleted at anytime by some viruses.

Anyway, I want to suggest you to use a software which will help you to get your partition and data back.

In fact this software will repair the partition table. You have to download the Norton Disk Doctor.

Click the link below to download.

Download NORTON Disk Doctor.

I hope you will enjoy it.

Thanks

Unless the partition where your files hasn't been overwritten by newer files or if it hasn't been "full formatted", you may be able to retrieve the files on your formatted partition.

There is a difference with "Quick Format" and "Full Format", as "Full Format" completely cleans your hard disk, so file recovery wouldn't be possible.

All you will need to do is look for a partition or file recovery application, like "DiskInternals Uneraser" or "Partition Recovery" or the like, install it and follow the recovery procedures provided with the software.
