    The first thing to do is stop working on the disk. Mount it as a secondary drive and then perform a recovery using disk-recovery tools. A lot of the tools in the web are available for purchase, though you might find a freeware. You may take a look here:

    Try searching this in google: "getdataback". So far, we've successfully recovered crashed HDD and accidental re-formats.

    GetDataBack is what we also uses and it can even retrieve data even how many times you reformat the disk.

    Thanks guys. Trying GetDataBack now. I had to go back to step 1. It has been 2 days already, ang parang di na nagrespond ung application. Ganon ba talaga?

    BTW, my external HDD is 300GB.

    Recovery will be faster if....

    If you have a Desktop PC, remove the 300GB from the USB enclosure and install it internally on the PC.

    You would also need 2nd Hard Disk to write recovered files.

    you can also try testdisk.
    I used this once when i had to recover a deleted partition.
    testdisk was able to recover it.

    hope this helps.

    I can do it.
    GetDataBack is what I use, kapag may kailangan akong i-restore/retrieve deleted format files.

Accidentally reformatted external HDD. How to recover the files?
