My PC has two operating systems on a C and E drive. I formatted my E drive by mistake when I was trying to format a flash drive. A friend told me there's a way to unformat it. How do I do it? Both drives have Windows 10 Pro.

    I have used recuva software myself a couple of times.. it's safe to use. You may White list in your antivirus or temporarily disable your antivirus to use it.

    Hello Richard,

    My Name is Chander and I am Independent Advisor and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I hope I can help you on your concern.

    There is no Microsoft supported way to un-format your data. You may need to use any third party tool like Recuva or remo recover. You should be able to recover the data if the HDD sectors have not been re-written.

    Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
