data recovery software?

hi all! One of my friend has formatted her drive by accident and now she wants to recover the data back. Is there any such software which may help her without any cost?

Data recovery from a formatted drive is possible, but depending on the circumstances can sometimes be quite challenging…
If its a second hard drive, Ext USB hard drive, or a flash drive for example the following link will provide access to a tool of good repute that is effective (providing ALL the instructions for its use are followed carefully.) It will be helpful in attempting to recover up to 1GB of data ( free of charge)

If your friend is in any doubt as to their ability to understand and implement the correct procedures…then its probably best to hand the whole thing to a data recovery specialist……. a "home" attempt of data recovery that fails, is likely to make the work of a data recovery specialist even more expensive than it is already!

i've used this program with great results in linux, but never from a windows pc, you'll need to save the files to a separate drive of equal size to the drive your recovering the files from, this is so you don't lose the files for good by overwrite anything on the original drive while the recovery process is running.

Guys Thanks for trying to help but one of our mutual friend told us about this GetDataBack software and it recovered the whole drive as it is. It was such easy and awesome
