How to get back formated data without recuva?

Dan_127 · Dec 16, 2016

I formated my hard drive on 2 terabytes 2 times

I lost all my files, recuva could not get back any of it. I wonder if there is any way to get it back on the haaard haard way??

I have not run DBAN on it now. I know it should go and recover the data, but it requires good knowledge guess?

If I had run DBAN 3 workouts, I had never asked this, because then it's basically impossible. But now I have not run DBAN and wonder what are the steps after Recuva to be able to re-join the lost data on a hard drive.

What version of Recuva did you use?

Should not matter per se but the newest version may have some additional capabilities (stated or otherwise) that could make a difference.

Do not run DBAN - that will destroy/overwrite any surviving data. DBAN does not include any data recovery functions.

You may need to look into professional recovery. Very expensive.

I used the latest or the next latest. I have not run dban so that is why I asked. I i had runned dban I would not even ask because then it would be to late. How expensive do you think it will be? I lost about 60 000 files... I don't know why I formated it 2 times, i was so high or something. But where can I look for that professional support? There is no tool that can do it right?

What program did you use to format the drive? How long did it take? A single pass of writing zeroes is enough to completely erase the contents of the drive, making it unrecoverable by anyone.

I did not use any tool. Just normal NTFS 4096. It tool about 20 hours both time lol. I guess it is over then.

If it took 20 hours, it erased the drive. Unless there is a specific reason to do so, I suggest just doing the quick format, when formatting a drive.

You formatted the drive. Twice.
Recuva does not work.

Unlikely anything else in the free consumer space would work. Try TestDisk.
If that fails...oh well. It's gone.

Either you can wait until it is done, or you can accept that your stuff is gone.
It probably won't be the full "450 hours", but who knows.
