Choose a Format Restore Utility to Recover Data

There are a lot of threads about format restore to recover data after format like that: "The re-installation of Windows has automatically formatted my all partitions and made my files disappeared; now I want to make format restore to get data back. What should I do?" Or "I know disk format has erased all data, but I want to recover data from the formatted disk. Is there any unformat software which can restore format to recover the data?"

I would like to make some comments on format restore.

Here I would like to introduce a good data recovery software for format restore, that is, EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard, a professional format restore utility for people who know little about computers to recover data after format.

Format Hard disk

As it known, when we perform disk format, the dialog box reminds that it will erase all data on the disk. Actually it's just an appearance. The Operating System resets the FAT or MFT on the disk. The reason that you can no longer see the files under Windows is that the MFT tells the Operating System that the drive letter does not contain any files, but the files are still there. That's why we could perform format restore to get those files back. To restore format means transfer the files on the formatted hard disk or partition to a separate one.
