Will restore disk formatting

Restoring disk formatting can be quite a difficult task, and in most cases requires specialized tools. However, before starting the recovery process, you need to consider the following points:

1. Importance of data: If the formatted disk contained valuable data or files, it is recommended to seek help from data recovery professionals.

2. Formatting vs. deletion: When formatting a disk, the operating system erases information about the location of the file system and creates a new partition table. This makes all previous data on the hard disk invisible to the user.
On the other hand, when deleting a file from the recycle bin or using the "Shift + Delete" commands, only the physical address of the availability of this data is changed without reloading the entire content.

3. Use of software:
– TestDisk & PhotoRec is a free open source software for working with hidden data;
– EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard – a paid product with the ability to receive 500 MB-4 GB of free results;
– Recuva is free software that can recover deleted files from formatted drives.

4. Prevention of data damage: If you want to try to restore the formatting of the disk yourself, it is recommended to use a second drive to save the found files and avoid writing new data on the formatted disk until the process is complete.

In any case, if you have a problem with data loss or hard disk formatting, it is best to contact specialists on this topic or companies that are experts in data recovery.
