Unformat NTFS Drive Tips:

Remember that you must refrain from saving new files or adding software to a drive if you think it may have to be unformatted. If this happens the data that you want to keep might be overwritten and there will then be no chance of unformatting the hard drive in the future.

• If the disk is only formatted then it is possible to unformat it if you go about it the right way.
• If extra data has been added, the unformat cannot happen, so don’t overwrite or the data will not be rescued.
• The system is not going to be cover all problems and there is the risk that when unformat is used, a File Allocation Table– often shortened to just FAT - will be rebuilt.
• As the root directory can also be rebuilt, there can be improper actions taking place and if this happens then there could be more files lost than there were in the first place. Make sure that you look out for signs of this and prevent it before it happens.
