Hello,

My laptop hard drive is of 80 gigs. I formatted it with NTFS (quick format) and reinstalled windows XP. I was trying to recover all .pst, .dat files which were stored on hard drive before format. But the problem is after reformatting, those files were unable to read.

I searched for those files again and again but unable to find the file. Even worse is that my system crashed during complete format recovery. So, I decided to reformat it again and I have done that, but it took 22 hours to format the half portion, where it took only 23 and ½ hours for the first time for complete format.

Now, my question is whether those files get damaged during the system crash?

Can I get those files back with the use of any utility?

Please help me…
