By an accident I have formatted (quick format) one of my hard drives. 900GB+ of old photos, music, documents etc. Is there any way to bring all back? it only took a second, so it couldn't phisicaly erase all data. Any ideas?!
thanks in advance.

This is pretty slick and saved me one time when I did that - http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htm

Biggest thing - do NOT write anything to the drive AND you have to restore to a different location. You can not restore the drive to itself, at least I never found a program that would let you.

Re: HELP!
Thanks guys. so which one should I use? The file system was NTFS and it was a storage drive, not the primary boot one.

Re: HELP!
Thanks, hope I never need it but it's good to read about a program that works before you need it.
