All 1TB Data Gone, Help!
Posted: 25 Mar 2021, 11:22
Hi everyone,
2 days ago, my photo archive, 1 TB HDD suffered an accidental quick format. Specifically, I was looking for the Storage Space setting in the Windows control panel. I clicked create and the OS immediately formatted my 2 partitioned HDD into 1 empty partition (about 5 seconds, I think it is quick format). I removed the HDD from the pool and unformatted it (still in seconds).
I tried a few recovery programs like Recuva, Easeus Data Recovery, GetDataBack but none of them detected my files. I tried Testdisk but still, it didn't detect any files on my HDD. I made sure I didn't write any files (regularly checked Task Manager if there is write activity on the HDD). How can I retrieve my files back? Can you guys help me, I'm a newbie in recovery issues
