Hi,
These are all freeware and are well regarded here at TSG:
Try.

Best not to use Pc as files may be overwritten.
D/load file recovery program to Mem stick etc.

I'll watch this thread with interest... I've never seen a free or commercially available program that could recover files after a format of the drive. Not that I've ever attempted to do so or known anyone who has... That's why I'll watch this thread, I'm always willing to broaden my horizons.

No I can't. I was serious when I said I'm always willing to broaden my horizons. I'm an old guy and I learned long ago I can learn more by simply paying attention to what others experience rather than going through laborious research on my own. But I do have to be convinced new methods and techniques are viable before I implement them on my system. So, as suggested by Danyo, please provide feedback on how you make out.

youre right its really hard or nearly imposible with the freebies some files that the search found is really hard to understand so i bought the recover my files software im just waiting for the software

[H-2-0]

i was able to recover the whole folder containing the files i needed problem is i dont know if its corrupt cause some word documents still needs something to be install to repair the file and some of the pictures has nothing on it..ill try to defrag my pc i might get some more good files for my next search

[1002richards]

I think it's best to run these sort of recovery progs before de-frag? Please correct me if I'm wrong
