DISK DATA RECOVERY

Disk format is very familiar to users; it is actually a process to prepare the new disk for use. Besides, we often choose to format a used disk when some errors occur and we find no way to solve it.
 
Well, what we really want to talk about today is how to recover files after format. After all, accidental disk formatting is not rare.
 

A Case Showing the Necessity to Recover Files After Format

 

 
This is a case we found at Tom’s Guide Forum. In this post, the user said that he had formatted and deleted data from SD card for many times. But now, he wants a complete file recovery after format.
 
Well, is it possible? If possible, the most important thing is how to recover deleted files after formatting.
 

Recover Files from Formatted SD Card

If you have formatted the drive only once, there would be great chance to get files back after formatting. Yet, if people formatted a drive for many times, the possibility of file recovery will be decreased with the increase of the number of formatting.
 

 
But, that doesn’t mean you can recover nothing from the repeatedly formatted drive. We’ll not know how many data can be restored until we tried.
 

Reality of Disk Format

Fortunately, the format people often perform is Quick Format, which will not hurt the real content of original files. The only thing a Quick Format will do is just to remove all the entries to data saved in target drive.
 
What does this mean in fact? It means that the files content is still kept in SD card after format and we have opportunities to recover files after format from SD card. The only problem now is how to perform the recovery.
 

Recover Files with Powerful Software

 

 
Now, let’s show you the process of how to recover deleted files after formatting from SD card: connect the SD card to computer -> run MiniTool Power Data Recovery -> choose “Damaged Partition Recovery” -> select the SD card and press “Full Scan” -> pick out needed files at the end of scan -> press “Save” button and choose another drive to save the selected files waiting to be recovered.
