Recover Files from Hard Drives Formatted for XFS Using Windows

I used an old PC for network storage running Ubuntu, and it crapped out. My only PC now runs Windows XP, and I want to recover files from my hard drive formatted for XFS using my Windows PC. How do I go about this?

Straight forward, if you want to recover files from hard drives formatted for XFS, third-party software for recovering files is suggested to make the recovery process easier and more effective. Just download EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to recover files from formatted hard drives, which can recover corrupted external hard drives, PC, USB drives, SD cards, cameras, and other devices, due to deleting, formatting, partition loss, unbootable or crashed system, virus attack, etc.

Follow the steps below to retrieve files from your hard drive after format using Windows 10/11:

Step 1. Don't write new data to your formatted HD partition.

Step 2. Download and install EaseUS data recovery software on your Windows PC.

Step 3. Launch EaseUS data recovery software, select the formatted HD partition, and click 'Scan'.

Step 4. Click on 'Preview' to choose the files you want to restore and recover files from formatted HD to another safe drive.

Note: Windows doesn't support the XFS file system, so if you connect an XFS drive to a Windows computer, the system cannot recognize it.

The other method you can use is sending your hard drive formatted for XFS to data recovery experts. To do that, you can contact EaseUS data recovery services, which have been experts in data recovery for over 18 years. Start contacting EaseUS data recovery services for a free consultation, describing the issues, placing an order, and sending your HD to recover data to get your data back fast and securely.
