Possible to recover data from erased hard drive?

#1 Post by axdc »

I recently had to erase my hard drive and I had thought I backed up my data enough times, but I didn't and now lost out on some of it. Is it possible for me to somehow recover it?
Thanks in advance! (:

If you have deleted your partitions, you can try TestDisk.
If you have deleted the files from a partition, use PhotoRec on the partition.
