[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1813528, member: 190607"] It really depends on how the drive is "wiped." If the drive is just reformatted, chances are that all that happened is that the directory was deleted and every block on the drive was made available for writing to. As long as nothing is done with the drive, all of the data is still on it and recoverable. If a secure erase was done, then your data is gone with the Schwinn, as they say. DriveSavers (spits on the floor at the mention of the name), will charge you thousands of dollars and will only give you back files of the type that you agree with them to recover. No applications will be recovered and no restored hierarchy. $300 Drive Recovery [url]http://www.300dollardatarecovery.com[/url] for only hundreds of dollars, will likely hand you a drive that is a perfect clone of your drive before it died or was wiped, or they will recovery whatever it is that you lost if it hasn't been over-written. It's interesting to note that Drive Savers' Yelp reviews aren't quite as good as $300 Drive Recovery's. Most folks were very happy with Drive Savers' work, but read all of the one-star reviews: [url]https://www.yelp.com/biz/drivesavers-data-recovery-novato[/url] [url]https://www.yelp.com/biz/300-data-recovery-los-angeles[/url] [/QUOTE]
