HELP,Fast Formatted 1.5 TB Recovering Data Techniques ???


i fast formatted my external hard disk of 1.5tb it was about 95%full of data,format was done from fat32 to fat32,scanning it usually takes about 3-4 days depending on the software used,waiting is not a problem ,the main problem is that i red that fragmented data will be recovered damaged so i believe i will have plenty of it

my questions are the following

1)is there any chance i can work through some program on the damaged/erased "partition table" of the original disk state to recover it?or an online service or someone that i can post to it damaged mbr or partition table to let them fix it?


2)should i consider using a software that have strong carping (fixing) fragmented files capabilities to recover them if yes can you name some apart from photorec ?


3)is there a program that will list after scanning the entire disk healthy files or corrupted files due to fragmentation ,this will help me a lot for filtering the results as i really have too much data to handle there


4)in case point number 3) isn't there,do you know about any program that i can scan with it recovered files of all there kinds to see what is working and what is not,this will help me avoid double clicking on each considering they are thousands






*data that i need to recover mainly is in the following order avi,audio,jpg,rar and some txt
*disk have not been written on it since this issue
*disk is perfectly working and does not have any physical damage
*disk is WD elements USB 2 interface
*no os was on it,no encryption was on it

What recovery software are you using and this should not take 4 or 5 days to do this one.

Try to run Get Data Back FAT or USF explorer on this one. you should get back raw data from them but that should not be a problem. Normally you can get back several of each files and will have to go through all this one at a time to see what you want and the rest to throw away.

You will have to rename your files and put them back where they belong. Might take you a long time to do this one.

It is a lot faster if you take this out of the enclosure and attach it directly to your PC to do this one. The USB enclosure will take you forever to do this one on.

R-Undelete is also worth looking at. You may test if it can recover your files before buying it.
