Hi my friends.i have formatted my hard drive (GPT Based) and now i haven't anything on it even partitions ! I lost all my data.. how i recover it without OS ? Plz help
 
Solution
Formatting removes all the data by design. Your only chance of recovering data is to use the hard drive on another, already working PC, and use a software tool like Recuva to see what can be recovered.

Also, for future planning, all important data should be backed up. Having a proper backup plan is a basic part of PC ownership, no different than changing the filter on your furnace or the oil in your car.

That's not an option unless you buy a new hard drive and install Windows on the new hard drive. You don't want to be running on the hard drive from which you want to recover data; everything you do on that hard drive will overwrite the remaining crumbs of your data and quickly make that data unrecoverable.
