Default Help - Software for Data Recovery ?

My friend formatted a NON- OS partition. it consists mostly of movies, pictures and documents.

Please advice on which software (free or paid) is the best for such recovery.

And is it a good idea to recover the data directly from HDD or make a image of the partition and then recover data ?

thanks.

the recoverability of the data depends upon the type of formatting done i.e. Quick Format OR Full format ............ this is the case because the Quick format options removes only the file table while the full format actually whipes the whole data thus making it harder to recover.

then there is another point which needs to be kept in mind while dealing with such a situation which is not to overwrite the drive with some other material ......... this can be done by keeping the drive unused and unaltered after the format .

As far as from my experience you can use simple recovery softwares(both Paid and free) available online as already mentioned by @mail2sc for recovering data after a quick format but if it is Full format then it is much harder to recover data using softwares ........ for then you may require to send it to a professional data recovery centre for recovering the data.

Pandora Recovery (Free)

can even retrieve sectors that have been overwritten by new data with some success

do not use multiple recovery software .... make a list and use the one u think which is most effective .....

the drive is disconnected n has not been used after the format. Not sure if it was full or quick format.

what is the problem in using multiple s/w, if they are all in read only mode ?

nothing wrong if they are in read only mode ..... but read only mode will not show you whether the file can be recovered completely successfully
