Question

Rescue formatted partition files!

by Dec 16, 2013 2:01PM PST

Recently, I have formatted my recovery partition and all the saved files and applications there are all deleted at the same time. I've also tried Easus data recovery wizard. It seems to find out all my need files. But, none of them can be opened or operated. Is there something wrong with these files? Or should I have to apply another data recovery program? Does anyone have any suggestion? Help me, please!

My experiences may give you some clues!

OK! Don't worry! Except Easus data recovery wizard, there are also many other data recovery programs that can help you rescue your lost files form this formatted partition.

In fact, coincidentally, not too long ago, I had also mistakenly formatted my flash drive and thought all the stored files were completely helpless. But, after searching some related problems over the internet, I knew that I was wrong.

As long as the lost files on this formatted drive were not overwritten by anything else, I did have chances to get them all back.

So, by following some suggestions in some popular forums, I had tried some useful data recovery freeware, including 4 Card Recovery Freeware, Recuva and TestDsik, etc.

Fortunately, after trying them all one by one, I finally restored my needed files back with the help of the first 4 Card Recovery. Is that great?

So, I shared my experiences here with you and hope my experiences will also give you some clues: http://www.4cardrecovery.com/
