How to Recover a Formatted Hard Drive?
A friend is giving me a PC that accidentally had the HDD formatted by her son fooling around, along with Windows XP and the drivers. There is no Windows or Driver CD available. I have heard of recovery utilities for deleted "files".
Is there any way to recover an entire drive including OS and drivers, (preferably a free utility)? I guess I am asking how to UN-format a hard drive... if it's even possible.
PS: I don't care about any user files. I just want to get the OS and drivers back.
Thanks...
