Can I recover files from a formatted hard drive?

Recovery of formatted Windows drive is possible with Disk Doctors Windows Data Recovery software. In order to recover data from the formatted drive you need to unplug the drive and connect it to a healthy machine as slave to make it secondary drive. Disk Doctors Windows Data Recovery software must be installed prior to recover lost data. Disk Doctors Windows Recovery Software supports recovery of formatted FAT and NTFS partitions.

Follow the procedure as mentioned in this KB article to make this drive slave on the same or different machine. http://www.diskdoctors.net/knowledgebase/default.aspx?cNode=6I3H0P&pNodes=2Y1U0D

1. Install the software on the host machine (please make sure that writing further on the same drive would overwrite more data, which will make lost data irrecoverable)
2. Launch the application
