I know Tune-Up utilities can recover 'deleted' files. But formatting erases the pointers with which Tune Up works wih. Also, if he formatted the OS i.e. Loaded a new (Windows Vista, 7 or 8 not sure about XP), check the C drive for the Windows.old folder. The old files are in there, under Users, I guess. |

DesChyko:yeah,i was running Windows 7 ultimate,but when he formatted it,he loaded windows 7 professional...and there is no trace of the old files |

Whizzcute:Then search for the Windows.old folder. Your files should be there under Users. |

Re: How Do I Recover Lost Files After Formatting? by AlphaT(m): 2:04am On Mar 28, 2015 |
Chyjoey:you'll need an external hard drive for that or maybe partition your PC HDD to store the files you want to backup. You can Google how to partition your PC HDD |

Whizzcute: Hello. First of all, when a hdd is formatted, the files are never really lost,well not immediately.The files get lost When you have started filling in new files on the hdd, by that it overwrites the existing files. The process I am gonna describe to you is best done when you have two hdds, it is not adviseable to be using a hdd and still be trying to recover files from it. Let's say hdd1 has ur "formatted" files and you have already installed a new O.s on it and you still trying to recover old files from it. It is best u have another hdd2 installed with an O.s with hdd 1 also installed to the system - then recovery is almost sure. But since it is a laptop, u can use an external hdd casing. If u don't want to go through all that stress u can still go about it like that. So search and google "file scavenger" it is very light. Select the hdd u wish to recover files from select destination to save them and start the process. Easy!! Depending on how large the hdd is and number of files it contained.it will take time. But will surely get ur files back. Like I said, using another hdd to run file scavenger on hdd1 is the perfect way. Source: I have worked for a CCTV company before where I formatted a bank's CCTV hdd with 2 months recording. A couple of days recovering with file scavenger saved me my job.lol Also done a couple of recoveries for staff system. If u have any issues, feel free to hit me up.

Windows.old is always on C: (root) when a fresh installation is made except if it was later deleted. If the later is the case, then, be ready to spend days recovering your files, but be assured, you won't get all your files back! Some will be unrecoverable due to overwritten of files therein. I just finished recovery task on my HDD. Was able to recover abt 80% (20% not recoverable). Meanwhile some files (videos and pix) were recovered bearing "new/interchanged names" with other files. You can use recuva, easus recovery, and some listed above. |
