Answer:
Yes, FinalData
can in most cases recover data from a drive that has been formatted. During
a quick format, only the drive's directory information is erased
or altered, but in general all previous data on the
disk remains intact and is recoverable.
Although a "Low
Level" format is not the common way to format a drive, it does
completely erase the drive's data together with
the directory information. Since all data sectors are overwritten
during a low level format, recovery is impossible using the FinalData
software. A low level format generally requires a utility disk,
available from the drive manufacturer (or another third party vendor), and
it is not the standard mode of format used under the Windows OS environment.
Re-installing
an operating system will furhter complicate the recovery process,
please see Related Topics for more help on this matter.
