Hi, No need to worry, by making use of formatted partition recovery software you can easily recover files after formatting the hard drive partition. Some days back, even I was going through similar problem where in lost some of the important files due to OS installation. Then I tried this recovery software which really helped me to recover files after installing OS. So, you can download this software by following the below mentioned links.

Hi,  I desperately need HELP! I have formated my laptop Dell Inspiron N5110 and reinstall a copy of windows 7 after noticing several viruses running on my pc. But I didn't delete or format the Recovery Partition. The recovery partition is intact. I now want to recover my pc to the factory settings of the original windows but I do not know if it is possible and how. I didn't know that I could just use the Dell Datasafe from the beginning before formatting my pc (how stupid I am). I have given a letter to the Recovery partition (F:) and I know can see all the files included inside it. After searching for a while, some people suggesting to execute the following cmd under "Tools" dir (dir which I cannot find):  Can anyone please help me??? I really need help with this! Can anyone give me guidlelines what to do???  Thanks, Chris.
