Efficient Way to Undelete after Format

What is your situation?

"Can I undelete after formatting the hard drive? I…um…formatted my hard drive in a moment of madness. I used the 'quick' format option which I believe left most of the files intact and I haven't accessed that drive since. Does anyone know of a program that will undelete my lost files from the formatted drive? One was a spreadsheet which is nearly impossible to recreate. Ok, I've learned my lesson about backing up. Many thanks." So, for this situation, can you undelete files after format safely? The answer is yes. What you should do is to choose reliable data recovery software, like EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard, to undelete formatted hard drive, and the problem is not a problem anymore. You can not only undelete files after formatting the hard drive, but also unformat files from external ZIP/USB drive, removable SmartMedia, MemoryStick, SD cards, etc. under Windows. Anyway, how to undelete formatted hard drive and recover formatted files?

Do not make any change to the formatted disk.

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. After you 'quick' format your disk, the area on the disk containing the data is merely marked as avail (in whatever file system structure the format uses), and retains the old data until it's overwritten. That means you still can undelete files after format.

Certainly, even though the data recovery software can undelete formatted hard drive and undelete files after format, the success of your formatted files recovery depends largely on your adherence to this crucial rule firstly: Do not make any change to the formatted disk. That is to say:

Do not try to delete folders or files from the Bad Device, even if you are able to see them and think that they are not damaged.

Do not try to save anything to the Bad Device.

Do not attempt to format or re-partition the Bad Device, not even with a program like fdisk or format. If the support people for these or any other applications tell you it's OK to format or re-partition the Bad Device, do not listen to them.

If not, you will risk a permanent data loss after format.
