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.
