I know I've seen a few threads where people have reformatted their computers and then wanted to get back some of that lost info. To help answer those people who havent yet found a solution and those who will have this problem in the future, here are some programs that can help you.



File Scavenger, $40, http://www.quetek.com
GetDataBack, $69, http://www.runtime.org/
File-Rescue Plus, $40, http://www.filerescueplus.com/default.html

OnTrack (http://www.ontrack.com) EasyRecovery Professional. $1,300! (this is really expensive so try the other ones first. If they dont work and the lost info is worth 13 hundred dollars, then buy it)

I havent used any of these programs myself, but they claim to work, and if that information is important, then try it.

Whatever you do, avoid reinstalling any programs on the hard drive. That potentially would overwrite the lost data, making recovery much less likely.
