How to recover data from formatted hard disk by using FinalData Premium 2.0

After a hard disk is formatted with a different file system or a partition is deleted and reformatted with a different file system (usually with FDISK), you can recover the data by using the following steps:


Step1. Go to [File]>[Open] and select the desired hard disk from the [Physical Drive] tab.


Select [Find Format] and input the sector range for the format search.

Specify the sector range to be searched and click [OK].


Step2. If a boot sector is found, the [Found a Boot Sector] screen will be displayed.

Click [Select Format] to go to the cluster search or [Continue] to continue the format search.


Step3. Even when the boot sector information is not found, FinalData analyzes the data and displays the file system as FAT16 or FAT32.

If you are certain that the analysis result is incorrect, you can change the file system type manually.


Step4. If the format found is correct, confirm by choosing [Select Format]; the file(s) found will be listed under [Lost Directory(s)] and [Lost Files].
After scanning is complete, find the files you wish to recover and save them to a different drive.
