A friend of mine has come to me with a Hard Drive that he "accidentaly" formatted. I'm not sure what he was trying to do to arrive at this situation but what is done is done!
He wants me to see if I can retrieve his Video and picture files from it somehow, as their mostly of his family and holidays etc. I found software called "EaseUS" (I would post the URL but I don't ahve sufficent posting rights, a simple google search for "Easeus" shows it as the top result) Which I thought would work, however when running it it looks like its going to take over 200 hours just to scan for the files, this doesn't include recovery time, thus making this an unusable approach.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any reliable software that will do the job of recovering the video and image files, preferably not taking longer than a day or 2 for the whole thing? The hard Drive is 1TB and was approximately 70% full at the time of the "format" and is a Seagate Barracuda 7200 SATA if that makes any difference.
Thanks for any help or advice in advance,
Paul.
