[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1851052, member: 38864"] Agreed with yuanyasmine. Formatting a drive doesn't automatically render data unrecoverable, but it does add challenges to recovery. Even overwriting data once doesn't make it "impossible" if one had the tools and talent to do the recovery. That's why 3 and 7-pass security wipes are options when formatting a drive... to really REALLY make it hard to recover anything. If the data is important enough, it may be worth looking into recovery software. I have no opinion on the one yuanyasmine mentioned. I've used Disk Drill to recover deleted files in the past and it works quite well, but I don't know about recovery from partitions that have been re-formatted also. [/QUOTE]
