Summary
| |
Unformat is the process of data recovery from a storage device
(which can be a hard drive, a camera memory card, or an USB pen drive) that was formatted.
The step-by-step tutorial below describes the procedure to recover data when
- the drive was accidentally formatted and you want to unformat the drive;
- Windows reports "raw filesystem", or the drive is "not
formatted."
|
|
Step 1 - Get, install, and start ZAR data recovery software
| |
Download and install ZAR data recovery software just like you do with any regular program.
When you run it, ZAR displays the window like the one below:
- Click "Data Recovery for Windows and Linux"
|
|
Step 2 - Select a device or a partition to recover
| |
- Select an appropriate device, or a partition on a device to unformat
- Click "Next" to start the unformat process
|
|
Step 3 - Recovery run
| |
This part may take up to three hours and requires absolutely no intervention. |
|
Step 4 - Select files to recover
| |
- Mark files to recover by clicking their corresponding checkboxes
- Click "Next"
|
|
Step 5 - Copy files
| |
- Enter the name of the folder for the recovered files
