So, to perform data formatted recovery, knowledge of format is much concerned firstly. As we know, format is the process of preparing a hard disk or other storage media for use, including setting up an empty file system. When you format a disk, the Operating System erases all bookkeeping information on the disk, tests the disk to make sure all sectors are reliable, marks bad sectors (that is, those that are scratched), and creates internal address tables for later use to locate information.

Most people hold that formatted data on hard disk or other media cannot be recovered. In fact, only if the formatted data is not damaged or overwritten, data formatted recovery is possible.
