NOTICES before recovery:

 

Don’t write to the formatted hard drive.

 

This is the basic rule of all data recovery software. If you want to recover the important files from the formatted hard drive, don’t write to it. When you write something to a hard drive, the data will occupy space randomly in it. There is a big chance that the formatted files are overwritten, and then the recovery rate is reduced largely or even becomes zero.
