Lost Drive D: with all my data and photos

Hi Sygnus

Yah, I would tend to agree, if a program doesn't specifically say that it can recover from a formatted drive, I would stay away from it and look for one that DOES say it can.

I prefer GetDatBack and R-Studio myself, paid programs but very effective and I've never had a problem with them when recovering stuff from other people's machines...and my own once or twice..;)

Hi Chappy

Thanks for clearing that up :)

Peace

I hope this program helps. The step by step procedure is also very well explained. I got able to recover all my data from an external USB HDD by this program.

Hi,

This link works - looks the same , but it's not.

Testdisk is great , but perhaps not the easiest for a new user
