I have a Sony Vaio SVS131A12W laptop that I formatted over a year ago, and I'm curious about the possibility of recovering the formatted data. I understand that formatting typically erases the data on a device, but considering the time that has passed, I'm wondering if there are any potential...
I messed up big time. I tried to install windows boot media on a drive with other stuff on it thinking they could both be on there. I know that was dumb. Is there any way the data on this portable drive before the installation media wiped it can be recovered? This is very important.
So, here's the deal. I made this post about trying to boot off of my old drive and trying to keep the original configuration. The original post can be found here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/upgrading-components-and-trying-to-book-off-old-boot-drive.3652495/
My new question is...
