Hi there ,

Simply , I formatted a partition of my HDD ( Quick format ) through the Windows itself..by right click on the drive >> Format >> Quick

I realized that i had files on that parition that i really need , is there any way i can do unformat ?

The file system of the drive is FAT 32 , and am using WinXP i still didnt install anything on the drive.

Hope anyone could help

Thanks for ur time

There are some recovery programs that might be able to recover those files.

Easy Recovery
R Tools
or do a data recovery search on Google

Just for future reference. If you do a format, all of the data should still be there. You will lose some of the data though if you over write with other data.

At the lab we use Get Data Back 2.31 (I haven't the slight clue as to where you can download it), works great - we've been able to restore deleted partitions, formatted drives, and drives that contain errors with this program!

It may take several hours to recover all the data - best to let it run several passes. Running only one pass usually isn't successful enough.

Good Luck!
