Restoring data on the hard disk after formatting
Restoring data on a hard drive after formatting can be a difficult task, but in some cases, data can be successfully restored. Here are some steps that can help:
1. Stop using the disk: Stop writing new files or installing software on the formatted disk. This will reduce the risk of potentially recoverable data being overwritten.
2. Use specialized software for data recovery: There are many tools and applications designed to scan and search for deleted files on formatted drives. Some of the popular programs are EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, Recuva and TestDisk.
3. Start the scan: Make sure you have selected the correct hard drive for scanning (to avoid errors). Start the scanning process using the selected software and wait for it to complete.
4. Viewing the results: As soon as the scanning process is completed, an analysis will be conducted to see if any faults have been found. Be sure to check each found file to make sure that it is complete and can be opened.
5. Save the found data on another medium: If the program found deleted files, save them on a second hard drive or USB flash drive to prevent damaged data during subsequent recovery operations.
It is important to remember that the success of the recovery process depends on many factors - for example, the time from the moment of formatting to the beginning of the scanning process. The faster you start recovery after data loss, the more chances you have to return everything as it is
