Hi Folks,

Sorry this is OT.

A friend has accidentally formatted a windows 7 HDD, whilst attempting
to restore a slow running PC. There is no backup. Friend is a 2-3 hour
drive away.

Googling throws up heaps of possibilities for viable recovery software
candidates. I was hoping for some recommendations from those with
experience of similar situations please?

Thank you very much if you are able to help.

Best wishes
Roly :-)

hi, i found a fairly easy one to use is "Recuva" and its free


Hi Alex

Thanks for your reply :-)

Unfortunately Recuva failed to recover anything useful.

Thanks
roly :-)
