In fact, each hard drive should be formatted before it is used for storing files. Hard drive formatting is basic and common for each hard disk. Formatting can help users convert file systems between FAT and NTFS. Also formatting can make partition normal to use when partition cannot be opened and asks to format or partition becomes RAW. After a new partition is created, formatting is performed immediately. Users can easily carry out partition formatting in My Computer: right click the drive and choose “Format”, and then click the button “OK”.
It is not avoidable that partition can be formatted unintentionally and mistakenly or it can be formatted automatically due to malware or virus. Is there any way to perform formatted partition recovery?
Hard drive formatting doesn’t wipe everything totally from drive. As we all know, file system records data information, such as file name, size, location, etc. and the formatting process modifies file system only, and data itself remain undisturbed. The modified file system tells operating system that the entire partition is free and ready for saving new files, thus we cannot see formatted files and we can store new data to the formatted partition.
For common computers, the only solution to achieve formatted partition recovery is using partition recovery software. Eassos Recovery and PartitionGuru are two powerful and trusted formatted partition recovery programs.
