Accidental Reformat
Frequently, the users may re-format the disk by mistake, only to realise it much later that some important data was not backed up.
Fortunately, all is not lost.
-WARNING-
You should immediately stop work to avoid further data damage. Do not install any program or data on the formatted drive as this will cause permanent data loss.
- Boot up from another drive with working operating system.
- Install the problem drive as external USB drive or secondary drive.
- Then follow the recovery procedure by downloading a copy of ADRC Data Recovery Express Software. This is a trial ware. If it works, you may purchase it on line.
