How To Recover Files From Deep Formatted HDDs

[bongvideos]

Hello everyone!

I'm wondering if there would ever be a way to recover files from a deep formatted hard drive. I performed a 3 pass format in the HDD already, would there be a chance to recover the files from it?

I would appreciate your answers. Thank you so much!

Whatever an expensive data recovery company might use.

At the consumer level, TestDisk, Revuca.

Thanks. I have tried Recuva. It didn't work out for me. I will try TestDisk. Do you have any suggested file recovery software that Technicians use?

Do you have any suggested file recovery software that Technicians use? Just for knowledge sake.

The aforementioned "testdisk", along with "ddrescue" are the two in my arsenal.

"deep format" as in a secure erase? There is no way to get anything back without some very high end tools. Even one pass would make a regular undelete program useless to find anything but broken fragments of files, 3, you need to send the drive away to a professional recovery place and will pay a lot to get files back. Software won't help you, read this, it's old but still has relevant info about how they can get data from a wiped disk (not just simply delete files and maybe you installed Windows again, I mean a wipe when the data is over-written with random characters) http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/the-enterprise-cloud/think-youve-wiped-that-hard-drive-think-again/

You an try every software out there, if you did a disk wipe past a simple format, and did 3 passes of a wipe, nothing you can buy and use without training and many thousands of dollars will recover data.
