[QUOTE="DaFlake, post: 1050383, member: 57419"] Contrary to what was posted, yes, the data can be recovered. However, the cost will likely not be worth the effort. You are probably looking at 2K just to start looking for the data. Kevriano, you need to read this... [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_formatting]Disk formatting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] Curious why he did a low level format. It generally isn't used that much any longer if you can even do it. My bet is that he didn't really do this but may think that he did as it is a very geeky thing to do. ;) Even then, you are still looking at a pretty penny to recover the data. Tell your brother that LLF is no longer needed and really shouldn't be used on the drives made today. [/QUOTE]
