Hard disk recovery after formatting
Restoring data from a hard drive after formatting can be a difficult task, but in some cases it is possible to return part or all of the lost files. Here are some methods that can help:
1. Use specialized software for data recovery: There are many software tools, such as EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard and Recuva, which allow you to scan a formatted drive and extract deleted files.
2. Contact professional data recovery services: If you are not confident in your technical knowledge or if the data on the hard drive is very valuable to you (for example, business information), it is best to contact an expert repair company and/or provision of data recovery services.
3. Try using the command “chkdsk” (for Windows) or “fsck” (for Linux/Mac): These commands will check the file system for errors and try to fix the damage to the file structure.
However, the following should be kept in mind:
– The faster you take steps to restore data, the greater the chances of a successful recovery.
– Do not write new data to a formatted disk. This can overwrite deleted files and make their subsequent retrieval impossible.
In any case, it is recommended to create regular backup copies of all your valuable data in order to minimize losses in such situations.
