500817 2006-11-21 05:03:00 Help I Accidentally Formatted My HDD,
Is there any software that is reliable for recovering my data? I think the data size is around 200GB.
:( The problem is I have a problem with my SATA HDD then I accidentally click converted the HDD into Basic. I think pretty much the entire HDD files of mines is gone. Some files have been keep for years, i.e. video, photos, documents, etc.
Please help. I already use Linux Ubuntu for help getting the data back but totally no LUCK.

I dont know what converting a hdd to basic has to do with it.

Thats what it should have been on in the first place.

Come on pedalslammer, a man of your knowledge would be doing regular backups.
If not, it sounds like hard luck

And then I boot into XP and found out the SATA HDD with data is gone so go to computer management to find the HDD and without looking I accidentally press convert button to basic mode.
Yeah Hard Luck.
Thanks Speedy for the link.
