I had Windows XP on my hp and one of the neighbors kids thought it would be cool to format the drive with some disk he had. It is now FAT32 and there is no OS on it. How can I get the data back. I have lost everything.
Please do not lecture me on having a good backup.
I want to hear about using software to recover everything. Even if the software is super advanced. I want to hear about it. Open Source programs would be great, but if I have to spend some money I will.
In any case, if Software like the above does not help, you will need to send it to a lab for $$.
