/ Unformat a hard drive
My computer running Windows XP has two hard drives: C: drive 150GB where I install all my programs and E: drive 250GB containing all personal data such as audio files, images, video files, etc. I unintentionally formatted E: drive along with C: drive during the course of upgrading Windows 7 from Windows XP. Before the operation, I’ve backed up 80% of the E: Drive data to another external hard disk. However, the data which have not been copied are of great importance and no data writing occurs in E: drive after formatting. What can I do to unformat a hard drive?
Hard drive format is a process of preparing a hard disk or other storage medium for use, including setting up an empty file system. Format falls into two types, namely Low-level Format and High-level Format (which is exactly what we mean in daily computer use). Unformat refers to recover everything from the newly formatted disk.
