July 25, 2012Having installed the system from an image, your chances of recovering all your data are very slight, but you can try ADRC or Pandora Recovery (both of which are free), or Prosoft Data Rescue PC, or EaseUS Data Recovery or ONTRACK EASYRECOVERY HOME (which cost money).
With any of these, try to install the software on some other drive (perhaps an external drive, or even a USB flash drive) so as not to overwrite anything which is already on the disk, and you’ll probably need to use one of the slower methods of recovery (they go by different names in each package) to search for your files. Good luck!
Do not worry, there are few data recovery tools that allows you to restore formatted data from hard disk. I will tell you if you can recover data after formatted hard drive.

July 25, 2012The easiest and fastest way to do this would be to restore the latest backup of the data you want to recover. If you don’t have a backup, the tools listed by Oron may be able to get a small part of your data back.

July 27, 2012Since it’s a fresh format, you can use Recuva to try recovering your files. It will be best to use the “deep scan” option.

August 2, 2012Barring reloading data from a saved back-up, I’m afraid you’re pretty much up the proverbial creek without a paddle.
If you had accidentally erased files, but hadn’t written anything to the drive since that time, you can recover the files easily. But if you’ve written anything to the drive, your chances of recovery go WAY down.
Unfortunately, you might have to look at your situation as being just one of those learning experiences in life–and hopefully not overly expensive lesson.
You can take small comfort from the fact that many of us have “been there, done that”, myself included. But I back up religiously now!

August 20, 2012Hello, you might want to try Active@ Partition Recovery. It is a paid program that can work magic depending on the circumstances. There is a free version but it will only recover 1 GB or so. Keep in mind that this process will take a long time. Here is the link:
