“Hi, I purchased a WD external hard disk last week. Then I moved the completed data from one of the partitions of my internal hard drive. Yesterday, when my friend asks me for this external HDD for one day, I had to lend this drive to him. After one hour, he came with a complaint that he has accidentally formatted my external drive. I became very nervous by hearing this. I just don’t know what to do. Can anybody tell me how to recover files from formatted hard drive irrespective of whether it is internal or external?”
