Recovery after formatting hdd
Restoring data after formatting a hard drive can be a difficult task, but in most cases it is possible to return part or all of the lost files. Here are some methods that can help:
1. Using specialized software: There are many software tools for data recovery from formatted drives, such as EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard and Recuva. Install one of these programs on another computer or transfer it to a flash drive/external hard drive and run a scan of your formatted HDD.
2. Contact professional data recovery services: If you are not confident in your skills in working with software to repair the problem yourself, or if the data is very valuable to you (business information, personal photos), then you should seek help from the service for emergency preparation of technical systems (data recovery service). They have specific hardware and programming equipment to perform the job more accurately.
3. DO NOT write new information to the formatted disk: The more new data is written to the formatted hard disk, the less likely it is to recover lost files. Try not to use this HDD before starting the recovery process.
4. Regular creation of a backup copy of data: It is important to understand that formatting can lead to a complete loss of information from your hard drive. To prevent such accidents, always make backup copies of your information and store it on another reliable device or cloud service.
In any case, remember that the success of recovery depends on various factors (degree of overfilling/recreation of the file after deletion). If you have encountered a similar incident, the best time to take these steps is as soon as possible!
