Need recovery program for formatted drive.

Posted on 07/19/2010 11:51:12 PM PDT by Ancient Drive

I have a client PC that someone accidentally wiped and he installed a fresh copy of the OS(WinXP) thinking it was reverting to an earlier state. He lost all Documents. Funny he shows up kind of embarrassed and tells me about it. Do you guys have recommendations on what program works best? Thanks guys!

Recuva has been proven not so good at recovering files from a formatted drive (I mean quick-format or complete-format) or partition loss situations. In your case, take a try of this data recovery tool, http://www.anysoftwaretools.com/file-recovery.html

Try the function “Format Recovery”. Though it’s not freeware, trial version allows you to evaluate whether the formatted files are reocoverable or not.
