File format changed into other format after format a hard drive

[HaziqNR]

Hi everyone,

I recently accidentally formatted a hard drive. So, I quickly install a file recovery software (EaseUS Data Recovery). Then the result shows that most of SWF files are big in size. I think that lots of my files have been converted or combine with other files. So, how do I recover my files?

This may not be the best answer, but I would recover the files first. That is you biggest concern right now. Then try to see what you need to do to fix them.

I don't know what to do next

Download and run Partition Wizard free. Start its Partition Recovery Wizard and perform a Quick Scan. Once finished double click the partition and see if files/folders are intact.

I did full-scan. Only this partition have some stuffs. The others have files like chkdsk, System Volume Information folder and stuffs like that.
