Cancelled a format using diskpart at 0%. Can I get the data back?
- by Sudarshan
I wanted to format my USB thumbdrive, but incorrectly did the following on my external HDD!!
CMD -- Diskpart
select disk 2
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=fat32
While it was still at 0% however, I cancelled the format and quit from CMD.
I can no longer see the HDD in My computer though, and it shows up as below in diskpart
Disk 1
Status - Online
Size- 1800 GB
Free - 0B
Is there anything I can do to get the data and HDD back?
