Restoring data after disk formatting
Restoring data after formatting a disk can be a difficult task, but in most cases it is possible to return part or all of the lost files. Here are some ways that can help:
1. Using data recovery software: There are many software tools, such as EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard and Recuva, which allow you to scan a formatted drive and find deleted files.
2. Contacting data recovery professionals: If you are not confident in your skills or if the data is very valuable to you (some kind of business data), then it is best to contact an information recovery company for help.
3. Check the backups: If you regularly create backup copies of your system or store the file somewhere else, this will be the easiest way to access all the data without worrying about what was done before.
4. DO NOT record new information on a formatted disk! In order to reuse the old space on the hard disk, the applications begin to overwrite the old data. The more new information will be recorded, the less chance there is to restore lost files.
It is important to remember that the success of recovery depends on several factors: the time since the disk was formatted (the sooner you start the recovery process after formatting, the better), the amount of overwritten data, and the state of the drive itself.
