Hello,
I have mistakenly format my D drive using diskpart which was having my very important data. I thought it to be usb drive that i wanted to format using diskpart. I open diskpart and used commands as follows:
list disk
select partition 1 ( I thought usb disk got selected but in actual D drive was selected )
Format
I closed diskpart manually at 5 percent completion of formatting. My window is in C drive and its working good. During formatting when i exit diskpart, D drive was inaccessible but after some time it was completely formatted and my all important data was lost. Is there any way i can get my data back?????
It's very imp for me to get my data back.
Seeking a favorable response.
Thanks[/color][/color]

It depends of several variables:
1.How many data you had, for example if your data was within that 5% or not
2.What file system you were using
3.For how long did you use it afterwards
You can try to use a free recovery software to see if you can still recover some files, just don't install it in
your D drive and don't save the data in your D drive

hey, thanks for ur suggestion
i have tried many recovery software but all in vein, not even a single file was recovered. for example Easeus recovery software was recovering SWG files. Can those be helpful in getting tha data back as these file sizes were in GBs like. 1.7Gb etc..
Moreover, i am not using D drive, nothing has overwritten over it as far yet until i dont recover my data.
P.S. These services are in some other countries i am from India

You might look into a data recovery utility called GetDataBack.
This happened to me years ago: I accidentally deleted a partition containing important data.
I tried GDB and it recovered everything, or at least 99%. I think you can download it for free
and run the analysis tool and see what it reports as recoverable. It's worth a shot. Just remember
to restore the recovered files to another location (USB drive, hard drive, etc) and not to the original.
