Recovering data

[Atmun]

I need to recover important data from a hard drive i formatted. I used partition magic to do it, so i believe it only deleted the header info. Is there a way to restore the header information? If I need to restore the data, what program do you recommend? I have go back but is there something that is better? How do you recommend I go about this?

thanks

I would recommend Spinrite 6.0; it takes awhile to run but it's very reliable.

Quetek or R-Studio

PC Inspector File Recovery has worked for me. This allows you to retrieve files from a "blank" disk.

Ontrack Easy Recovery Professional. Expensive but it works like a charm.

I did this once, and purchased Restorer2000 Professional. Worked like a charm.

I use getdataback ntfs (or getdataback fat).
Awesome tool. Simple, excellent interface.
