i formatted my hard-disk by mistake. though i dint lose any important data (only my sister did.... heh heh) , the hacker in me wants to try experimenting with some unformatting 😉

so pls suggest some good programs which i can use to unformat my disk. doesnt matter if its DOS- based as long as the program performs well i.e. manages to throw up all the data lost.
 
Haven't tried it, but Lost & Found is supposed to do the job... The problem is, I can't find the thread where it was posted... 🙁
 
unformat doesnt work... tried norton utilities format recover too.. didnt work. so here i am... under fire for losing my sisters documents blah blah! didnt lose too much myself cos of a timely backup!
wud still like to know of any software that works... hope somebody can help
 
Did u do a quick format (should take less than half a minute), or a full format (about 20-30 minutes).

Quick format can be undone, full format is much more difficult - a data center could do that, but they charge premium bucks.

The problem is that a full format rewrites all sectors, so it is really difficult to get the data back, although technically it is still there.
