USB data loss from formatting

[Maggoten]

I have windows 10 installed on my system right now. Wanted to reinstall my PC and accidently installed an windows 10 installer on the USB with photos and video.

That USB was on 124GB with 100GB data and after the windows 10 setup was done with my USB, it was on 32GB with like 4GB data.

I tried some recovery applicationservices that just finds like 32GB, but I want to find more like 100GB...

Do you know of any application that will find files on the part of the drive that isn't formatted?

Regards
Maggoten

I have used it and it is really good at recovering both deleted and non deleted files. An alternate is testdisk. If windows replaced the spots on the drive that were occupied by your files, the chances of you recovering those files are slim.

Hmm, I tried Recuva. It only found like 30GB. The windows files are only like 4GB and I had about 100GB data. Seems like Recuva can't scan where I don't have a file system. 🙁
