Recover lost data from deleted/formated partition

DeNeDe · Oct 9, 2014

Is there a way to recover such data!? On my old laptop I had WinXP but i wanted Win7 on it. Doing so I was forced to delete all my partitions and I couldn't back anything up.
Could I recover some of the data from the old partitions? Any software suitable for the job?

There is lot of software to do this. I prefer Recuva or GetDataBack.

anywhere you've written over files will be lost. try the programs mentioned above, and learn from this - back up data first, or seperate into different partitions. you only need to format C: to reinstall windows.

From xp to win7 you need to delete all because it needs to create that 100Mb partition..and i totally forgot about this.

I use recuva my self however if you did a full format ( takes a long time ) the files will be pretty much lost. So if you did not do a full format try what Newtekie sugjested.

Good Luck.

Well it was full format and partition delete... and yes. i've tried it and seems it can't find the files.
