DR_ADHAM Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Today I formatted by mistake my external USB WD Elements HDD All my Data throughout nearly 5-6 years (about 750 GB) have gone. Please if any one could suggest me a really working (efficient) data recovery software to accomplish that mission, Then I would be very grateful !!

DR_ADHAM Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 I'm trying EaseUS Data Recovery right now but about 2.5 hrs and the marker is still at a very low level as shown If I stopped scanning and tried to recover these findings, will I be able to scan for the rest items again or the program will not detect them anymore ???

Don't save any file on that HDD from which you want to recover your data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The AchieVer Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The data you are trying to recover is around 750 gb ,and you are performing deep scan , hence it’s going to take quite some time. further , the app will scan your entire HDD and will try to recover data which was just deleted, (the data which can be recovered, unless you performed secure delete, using any app). Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The AchieVer Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The HDD from where you are trying to recover the data should not be used,as you use the HDD the chances of recovery diminishes. further, choose a different location to restore your recovered data. Hope this helps 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabrwky Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I have had good success with runtime GetDataBack. I'd first clone the drive, then use the clone for recovery attempts. It's an awful feeling to lose so much. We're all here to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogs Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The amount of data you lost is quite big. Scanning the whole drive for so much amount of data is going to take a lot of time, its going to be nearly same for all the softwares. But you can first use quick scan and see if it can recover the required data. Some times quick scan is enough, just telling by my experience.

Quote Also, I'm not seeing any exe or iso files in the list and these are the most imp. for me Chances are low but don't loose hope Deep scan will take long time and it will show you very very old files/folders when it finished. As you already tried to restored the data on same drive, even after deep scan easus will not able to restorae yours files /folders, ,may be it will show data is successfully restored even then most of the data will become unusable/corrupt. you can't see any exe, iso thats means files are gone overwritten by restoration process now only those files/folders are recoverable which are not overwritten by active@ try to use bootcd if you are using installers you will get better and fast results.

Good recovery software should not allow you to do the recovery to the same HDD that was scanned. Its mandatory to have another drive to put the recovered files and expect to have allot more than 750GB because the software will try to recover also files that you have deleted long time ago... 1 hour ago, DR_ADHAM said: What are my chances with all these data ???? It depends on the amount of new data written to the drive because it will overwrite the old data that was stored on the now used area of the HDD.
