Hello, guys, I'm wondering if you can help me I mistakenly formatted my external hard drive with over 80 thousand karaoke backing tracks and music I have a Mother's Day celebration party tomorrow and I am wondering if I can somehow retrieve the deleted files from the external hard drive please can anybody help me

First thing - DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING ON THE DRIVE.

I can't promise this will work but a format is a fairly easy recovery.

Thank you for replying my friend I have tried this it tells me that it has recovered 500GB then when you try to retrieve the files it asks you to buy the software which works out at £55 in English money which I do not want to pay is there any other way I can do this without having to splash out this money

£55 - A bargain depending on how important it is for you to recovery your data. I think torrents may help you out with good "free" software but don't blame me if you get a virus.

Here is the price for a 1tb drive recovered professionally a few weeks ago for one of my customers who needed the data. Hence £55 being a bargain.

Spoiler: The cost of professional recovery

Before clicking the link below install the free version of Malware Bytes https://www.malwarebytes.com/ which will block any nasty pages the site tries to open

GetDataBack can be found with a crack or serial number and may just help. Get a virus, it isn't my fault.
