Did you format your hard drive with low level format? You forgot take the data backup. “Oops, you have lost all the files stored on your hard drive!

However, it’s all a myth. Don’t worry; you can recover files after low level format also. But how? Remo Recover software can easily restore your data from formatted hard drive on Windows 10, Windows 8 & 8.1, Windows 7, Vista, etc. in a matter of minutes.

How Remo Recover can achieve this?

Do you know what happens when you use low level format on your hard drive? Low level formatting will erase all your data from the storage device irrespective of the number of partitions present on the device or type of the file system installed. It ignores the file system layer and directly works on the disk sectors. This is the reason why people say “you cannot retrieve files after low level formatting”. However, Remo Recover software is the most powerful tool that can go deep inside and even reach your physical disk sectors and scans the disk sector-by-sector to locate and extract your complete files from it. Thus, you can recover formatted data easily.

Situations led to formatting:

Actually, Low level formatting is performed when you are selling your old drives or disposing your old computers. Just imagine you want to give away your thumb drive to your friend and hence, decide to format it. In the course of time, instead of selecting the drive representing the thumb drive you may accidentally choose any of the other drives containing your vital files and even do the low level formatting on the wrong drive. Some of the other reasons are:

  • Formatting the drive to get rid of the files that are infected with virus, without taking data backup
  • You may encounter some error messages when you access a file, which instructs you to perform low level formatting without which you will not be allowed to access the files
  • Unintentionally hit the format option instead of selecting some other option
