This is not true, you can recover files from a formatted drive. We do
it all the time. The problem is the more and more it is used the less
you can recover. Also, obviously the part of the disk where it wrote
the OS during installation will be gone, but fortunately that a lot of
times is where it was the first time and the actual "data" files
(pictures, documents, music,...) are recoverable.
The tool I would suggest is:

Though if you want the technician version it is pricey.

If the Windows installer formatted the drive it's gone, all gone.
What version of Windows (XP, Vista, 7)?

Did the Windows installer (the app) ask to format the drive?

He reinstalled windows. All traces of the old files are gone.
I need a program that can grab the files directly from the disk.
I know they exist, I just don't know which one's are a good bang
for the buck.
thanks,

Marlon,
It depends on what you mean by "reload windows". You
might need a file recovery program such as Data Recovery Wizard, etc. Or
it may be as simple as rolling it back to an earlier restore date. For
transferring files, I use an invaluable tool: http://thetornado.com -
so easy a chimp can do it!

Hi All,
I have a customer that decided to reload windows. They
now have no family
pictures left. ug I've told them to leave the computer
off till I can
figure out how to get the files back.
My plan is to get a USB hard drive adapter and use that
to pull off any pics
I can find.
Anyone know of a good program that'll dig through the
drive and look for
jpgs and such?
thanks
marlon
