"I was intended to clear up my computer hard disk drives this morning. After i sorted out the drives which i wanted them to be formatted, i just carelessly chose the wrong one, and all the data on it mean a lot to me, but now the formatting process has finished. I can not find them on the drive anymore. Is there anything other than carrying it to expensive data repair stores i can do to get them back? Please help!"

"I come across an awful accident. The boss allocated me a new computer and gave the old one to my new colleague. But maybe she is a little nervous about this new job and new environment, she put some wrong materials on hard disk drive D and after she noticed it she formatted the hard disk drive. So the old and useful data on the drive have been deleted now. These data are fatal to our work, so we really need them back. The new coworker now is so scared to lose this new job, so is there any generous people can tell us how to restore the lost data as fast as we can?"

These data loss accidents are happening all the time that we need to find out a way to redeem the lost data. Thereby, i am going answer the question of the title. Yes it is fully possible to have your data back if you emphasize the two very crucial points: one is Data Recovery Softwares; another is Correct Operations!

Data recovery softwares:

Why there are still some people can not get the data back?

Some people are not really know how to do it, but they just want to give it a shot by wrong actions, which have not helped to retrieve the data, on the contrary, the data have been damaged badly instead. We have seen a lot of ineffectual examples about data recovery from formatted hard disk drives. For the most situations, when people found out their infos are lost they firstly recover them by themselves, but they overlooked to protect the field failure data. The wrong operations are the criminals to second devastated the data, and caused the data irreparable.

What you should not do after you formatted your hard disk drive?

1. If your affected hard disk drive is C, then please do put the data recovery softwares that you download on hard disk drive C and desktop. Even if you put the softwares on other partitions of the affected drive which do not need to be recovered, the damage is still done on the affected part. Because during the time that you started system and installed the softwares are exactly the actions for damaging the data.

2. After you used the data recovery softwares to find the lost data, do not put them on the formatted drive. Otherwise, you could encounter the circumstance as follows.

The data you thought once you have redeemed are just the names, dates when you made them(files like Word documents) or sizes of the real data that you want.

Some pictures that you found back can not be opened or there are some errors existing.

The documents that you thought have retrieved are not accessible, some errors existing here or they are gibberish, causing the files can not be processed.

The stuff you recovered just the structures of list, only the files names are here, but no contents.

The right routine of operations:

1. Do not panic and impulsively do any actions(like overwrite)

2. Installing the downloaded data recovery software on other healthy hard disk drives.

3. Use the hard disk drives which have not been formatted to start the computer system.

4. Estimating the data that you lost.

5. Running the data recovery software to retrieve the data.

6. Prepare the space on hard drive other than the formatted one for the data that you gained back.

7. You should format the hard disk after data recovery if you want to convert the disk from RAW to NTFS or FAT32.
