Can i recover my data from unformulated disk?
i was installing linux, but by mistake i chose entire device for installing, due to this my previous OS (windows XP) is deleted and cant install linux also.
But when i reinstalled XP, than only C and D drive is showing. when i am clicking on D drive it requires format the drive.
Plz tell me HOW can i recover my all data, i ave some important data.? Should i format first before running recovery tool or after format.
Do NOT FORMAT THE DRIVE!!!
If you have the data somewhere else , go ahead a format the whole drive, than creat 2 partitions, and use "dual boot" to have 2 OS’s.
It have the data, try to creat a small 3rd partition and use some software like "partition magic" to clone the data from the old partition to the new, or just to create a partition wall.
