Did you quick format your hard drive accidentally? Now you want to recover your files that are lost due to quick format? Don’t panic, your lost files are still recoverable.
Quick format is one which does not scan your hard disk for bad sectors and is used when your hard disk has been previously formatted and when your hard disk is not damaged. All data will be lost if you perform quick format.
To be frank, once you performed the quick format, it is not possible to recover deleted files without any of the good recovery software. Also if you want the formatted files back then you must be aware of the following rules:
- Do not write any new files to the drive to which you did the quick format. If you write new files to the formatted drive then this may overwrite your old files by new files. Once the lost files are over-written, you will lose your files forever.
- Install quick format recovery software on some other drive.
- Don’t try to restart your computer after formatting.
The recovery software recovers all your lost or deleted files from formatted drive and the chance of recovery depends on what kind of format you perform. Quick format just deletes the entries from the file allocation table (FAT) and leaves the actual content of the files untouched, because the file addresses or location are no longer indexed in the file allocation table. So when we open the quick formatted drive we see it as empty, since the system marked it as place available for new files.
We can use the recovery software to recover hard drives that have been formatted, accidentally deleted files or files deleted due to unknown reason, deleted due to unexpected system shutdown or corrupted due to virus infection. The recovery software also recovers files when partition structures are damaged or deleted.
