Restoring files after disk formatting

Restoring files after formatting a disk can be a difficult task, but in most cases it is possible to return part or all of the lost data. Here are some ways that can help:

1. Use data recovery software: There are many software tools, such as EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard and Recuva, that allow you to scan a formatted drive and find deleted files.

2. Contact professionals for data recovery: If you are not confident in your computer skills or if the program for independent use was unsuccessful, it is best to contact professional information recovery services for help.

3. Check previous backups: If you made a system backup before formatting the disk (which I highly recommend), then you can simply perform the "Restore" operation from this backup copy.

4. Be careful when working with freshly formatted hard/SSD drives! The faster the data recovery process begins, the greater the chances of its successful completion. Therefore, it is not recommended to write new data or install programs on the formatted disk before starting the recovery operation.

In any case, remember the warning proverb: "The best way to avoid problems with data loss is to make regular backup copies of your files."
