Recover Data from Formatted External Hard Disk Drive

Why do people format external hard disk?

As more and more people use external hard disks to store their information, the formatting issue becomes very common. Let me sort out few most usual reasons for you.

"I came across the situation that my external hard disk can not be used anymore. Yesterday the pc sent a window that said me my external hard disk is unformatted and warned me to format it. I did not really understand that question but I still did what it asked, and few minutes later my information on it are all disappeared which made me very anxious and unpleasant. My speech draft and other important essays are all on it, I need them for my class in next 2 days. And I am not a computer pro, so please teach me how to find them back!"

This reason should be classified as accidentally formatted the external hard disk. And this is not strange for us, because every once a while the computer would organize the hard disk drives for making sure that there are still some blank spaces for the users. Carelessly clicked the "yes" when "do you want to format your external hard disk?" would be the same reason as this one.

"I was going to print some papers from my external hard disk this morning, but all my data were not there after I inserted it to the computer. Under Disk Management, the external hard disk is shown as RAW drive. I used the antivirus program to inspect whether did the external hard disk get virus from internet, and the result was yes. Although I cleaned up the virus on it, my data are still gone. I am very exigent to find them back since I need them for my work, so can you introduce me some tools for retrieving my data?"

The situation above indicates the cause is virus infection, and we all know that once the virus attacked your drive, you can not get to your infos on it or even if you can see them maybe they can not be read.

"I encountered a very unlucky circumstance that 10 minutes ago i had a power failure, that time my computer was on and i was delivering movies to my pen stick. Now the electricity has come back, but the information on my external hard disk are not exist anymore. I think I mistakenly format the pen stick. I am so unhappy that my favorite music and movies are lost , can you tell me how to do?"

This one has to be divided as improper computer manipulation, although it was an accident but not his fault. Thus it is not difficult to see that abruptly turning on or shutdown the computer is wrong. Also drawing off the external hard disk off from computer when it was being applied is incorrect as well.

How can we retrieve the lost data?

Of course go to professional hard drive repair shop is one solution, but it is time-consuming and not cost-efficient. The optimum method is using pointed software to recover the data from formatted external hard disk, which is convenient and free. You can download them from internet (but be careful of the virus infection) then install it. Now you are ready to track your infos back. The software will scan your external hard disk meanwhile do not pose other damages to the drive. After a while the data could be located and brought back to your drive. What is more, this kind of software had the capability to restore the deleted data from other external data storage equipments like USB flash drive and other various categories of cards. Users have a great impression of the data recovery software.
