Best Data Recovery Software

I have a customer that tried to perform a repair install but he selected the wrong recovery option. He unplugged his drive when it was at 1% formatting line. I have used easeus in the past but it is very slow. I would like to recover the partition and restore the drive like it was. I would settle for some data retrieval though. I need some software that will retrieve data off a drive that has been formatted.

recovery data from an hd is very difficult, i had use this software and it work well:

IMPORTANT:
when trying to retrieve data from a harddrive formatted or damaged can only recover files of small size, such as photos, movies, music, documents, but it is almost impossible that you can restore an entire hard drive

Try GetDataBack http://www.runtime.org/ Free to try. If it sees the missing files you pay for full functionality.

If it sees the data recover it first before trying any partition recovery.

Also look at Active@Partition Recovery http://www.partition-recovery.com/ range of products. Some of those are free to try as well.

Another alternative:
http://www.piriform.com/recuva/features
Note the second feature..i have used this and have recovered files from inside the os ...but as the second feature states it is supposed to work for formatted drives

I have also had good luck with Recuva, in the past.

And R-Studio gets good remarks from other Experts around here, but it isn't free:
