* A data recovery program
Follow the steps below:
Step 1
First, you'll need to assess your needs. If you did a quick format, there may be hope for you. If you did a full format, you may be out of luck, but you can try.
A quick format doesn't actually delete all your files, it kinda just erases the table of contents.
Step 2
Next, you need to isolate your hard drive. Set it up as a secondary drive on a computer. This will make sure that data is not being written to the disk. When data is written to a disk, it may overwrite the files you are looking for, resulting is permanent data loss.
Step 3
Next you'll need to download and install a data recovery tool.
Step 4
Once you have the data recovery tool running, use it. A good tool will come with instructions. Generally what you will need is to run a full or complete scan and recovery of the formatted hard drive. It may take a long time.
Step 5
Once this is completed, search for your needed files. If they are there recover the files, and copy them to another safe source.
Step 6
If you can't find them this way, you can start to panic again, but consult a professional. Your data may be gone for good, but maybe not. There are professionals out there with specialized equipment. If you contact a professional, they are likely to be able to help, but it may be expensive.

Please also note that the more you use the drive, the better the chance that you will not be able to get your data back.

It can deeply scan your hard drive to retrieve the lost data. It is for Windows, and the version for Mac will soon be released. You can learn more information there.

Thanks for the tip, I remember hearing about SpinRite on Security Now. Didn't know that it would do data recovery.
