Accidentally formatted 3TB harddrive
Posted: 25 Apr 2012, 18:00
I recently purchased a HP N40L microserver. Installed Microsoft Storage Server 2008 r2 on it. So today I try to transferred my harddrive into the server. My external harddrive is Seagate GoFlex external 3TB harddrive formatted with one single partition with NTFS.
Once I plugged it into the server it is not recognised. I asked a friend and he told me to go to Computer Management and set it to GPT. Afterward everything is gone. So I plug it back to the external harddrive and switch it back to MBR, the data is still not there, then I switch it back to the server and set it to GPT again.
Now I realise I have formatted it 3 times, is it still possible to recover the data?
