Read time 5 minutes

The hard disk of the computer contains all the information that is present in the drives. Even the Operating System Applications. As you can format the drive completely, then it can happen accidentally also. If the partition between the drive is formatted accidentally, then you should use all the important methods to repair the partition and recover the items present in the drives.

Case 1: when you have formatted the drive to same file system i.e. from FAT to FAT or from NTFS to NTFS.
Case 2: when you have formatted the drive to other file system i.e. from FAT to NTFS or vice-versa.

The first case mentioned above is termed as formatting as the drive is formatted to the same file system as earlier. The other one is called re-formatting, where drive is formatted with different file system. In re-formatting, chances of overwriting of data are high and hence, negligible chances of successful data recovery. The software raises the chances of accurate and successful recovery, both in formatted and re-formatted case.

For time effective and result oriented recovery of formatted and re-formatted partition, the software provides you with two productive recovery modes: Standard Scan and Advance Scan.
Standard Scan is the fast mode, recommended in cases of file deletion, partition deletion, damaged partition and bad sectors in partition.
