Let's starts by answering these questions:
Why Hard Drive requires formatting? Or, why do we format Hard Drive?
A brand new hard drive always requires formatting. By the process of formatting we divide the hard drive storage space into multiple tracks, sectors and clusters. And the specification of track sector and clusters depends upon the file system and operating system, which we have opted for. here are various file systems like Fat, Fat32, Ntfs, Xfs, Vxfs, HFS etc. All these file system have its own properties, merits and demerits.
And I think you can guess the answer of our next question, to avail these features we usually change the file system and operating system like we upgrade from Fat to Fat32 or Fat32 to NTFS. Or it may happen we downgrade our file system for backward software compatibility.
This is the basic reason but other that this formatting is nearly the answer of all the daily problem of an operating system like slow start, virus attack, system error, bad sector and many other problems. Actually formatting is the shortcut solution for every problem.
During this formatting we sometime format the wrong drive or we forget to take backup of important files. Or by accidentally formatting the whole drive instead of formatting a single drive, I have committed this mistake earlier.
So let's start the process of recovering data, I would be using EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard to recover from formatted drive.
