Recovery of a formatted hard disk
Restoring data from a formatted hard drive can be a difficult task, but in most cases, data can be successfully restored with the help of special programs and services.
Before starting the recovery process, you must stop using the formatted disk. This is due to the fact that new files can overwrite old data on the disk and reduce the chances of full or partial recovery of information.
There are several methods for performing this operation:
1. Using specialized programs: There are various commercial and free programs for restoring data after formatting (for example, Recuva, TestDisk). They allow you to scan the hard drive for deleted files and freeze the recording of new data until the process is complete.
2. Contacting service centers: If you have not been successful on your own or are afraid of losing even more information due to software errors, contact a data recovery company for help. Such organizations are located everywhere, and it is also possible to send a disk by mail.
3. Backup: If you have regular data backups, you can simply restore them using the appropriate software or operating system function.
It is important to note that it is not always possible to completely restore all data after formatting the hard disk. In some cases, part of the information may be lost without the possibility of returning it. Therefore, it is very important to have fresh backups of all valuable files on other reliable custodians (cloud service, flash drives)
