Before introducing how to unformat hard drive, we should learn something about format.

Format is a Microsoft DOS command. It's a command line you can run to remove information from a hard disk, floppy disk, etc. There are two kinds of format as bellows:

Low-level format involves the creation of the actual structures on the surface of the media that are used to hold the data.

High-level format is the process of creating the disk's logical structures such as the file allocation table and root directory. There are also two ways: quick format and full format. Their difference is that full format will use the chkdsk command to scan the bad sector and remove the table while quick format just removes the table.

When you format a hard drive/disk, you will lose everything on the drive, no matter which format method you adopt. Therefore, it is very important to back up everything you might need later. However, if you do not have a back up, you still have chances to unformat hard drive to recover files from formatted drive in the form of high-level format.

But we can perform formatted hard drive recovery from high-level format, including both quick format and full format.
