This module works only with formatted drive.

Another common data recovery situation is accidentally reformatting a partition. The FormatRecovery tool will allow you to recover files from a partition, which has been accidentally formatted or reinstalled. This type of recovery will ignore the existing file system structures and search for structures associated with the previous file system.

The FormatRecovery tool should be used in the case where you have reformatted a partition by accident. For example, if you select the format option in Explorer by right clicking on a partition. This will perform a format of the partition removing all files. The file data is still present on the partition and can be recovered using this tool.

The first screen on the FormatRecovery tool will display a list of partitions found on the drives found in your system. If the partition that contains the deleted files you are looking for is not listed, you may need to select the AdvancedRecovery tool to recover your data. If your partition is not listed, this is a sign of more severe corruption. If you are trying to recover data from removable media, you need to have the media in the drive before selecting the FormatRecovery tool.

When you accidentally reformatted a partition you may have changed the partition type. The Previous File System radio box will allow you to select the previous file system type for your partition.

NOTE: If you have repartitioned your drive and the partition size has been changed or moved, use the AdvancedRecovery tool.

To begin a formatted recovery, select a partition and click "Next" to begin Scanning for Files.

Click "Cancel" to exit the tool at any time.
