The story: I have 4 HDD's, 2 250's in raid, 500 and a 1000. Recently my father whined his XP won't boot and so he asked me to format and reinstall it, fine, i couldn't care less. I put in the cd, pick the correct drive and it starts formatting, and for some reason it started formatting one of the 250's. Long story short, I had 10 years of data on that raid, pictures, documents, generaly half of my life went fuck itself. I couldn't believe that as happening during the format that I cancelled it at 50%, and here I am now hoarding all the recoveryapps I can find hoping thy can help me recover anything from my what is now, a 3/4th of a raid 0

and this is why you should never be flippant around formatting drives. seriously, if i had to pick between playing with fire and formatting drives in relation to the requirement of amount of attention you SHOULD be paying, i pick formatting hdds.

I panicked a bit at beggining because it's the first time I had to recover data from formated raid in such a fucked up way, but it seems like Recuva sees the entire raid(both disks) as in perfect condition, files not even deleted and so I'm recovering it all now.

Why'd I even download porn if I can stream it?

Now imagine if the disk on which you had like super important files for university, and other stuff just die...
That's what happened to me a year ago... So count yourself lucky

Nope, I wanted to give it to pros, and recover that, but that would void my warranty, and when I asked if I could have it after I got the new one, they said no :\ So I lost it all... So now I learned to make backups regularly

That is why I am in love with my external HD. No big deal if I loose everything. It is all backed up. Still would be a huge pain in the ass tho.

Until your external HD tumbles from your desk to the cold, hard wooden floor.
And you spend 5 weeks trying to recover what was in there.
Thankfully I managed to recover ~95% of the stuff, so besides those 5 weeks

Anything important, old and new I keep triple backups of, plus I have some super super important photos, files and documents compressed and distributed over three web accounts.
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.
