Recover 4Gb NTFS usb stick from low-level format

[Hope]

Hi All,

Accidently used HDD LLF Low Level Format Tool 2.36 to low-level format 4Gb NTFS stick. Is there any hope of recovering data at all ?

Well, there is always hope, you may download some demo app. like: r-studio for example and give it a shot
see if it works
but my guess is always possible

[Hope]

What actually happens to usb flash drive during a low-level format ?

Every byte is replaced by 00.
No hope if you ask me.

Agree, no hope at all I'm afraid if a proper LLF has been performed. The data is gone.

am gonna do small test on one of the hdd here, but am really expecting something as a result probably in RAW, will see.

thnx for the info

If the LLF stopped immediately after starting, maybe there is *some* hope, if LLF finished, data is gone.
