Recover Data from Formatted Hard Disk in Pune
Formatting a drive doesn't erase the data; it only clears the 'Address Book' (File System). As long as you don't write new files over it, we can recover 100% of your data.
1. Fast Format vs. Full Format
Most Windows formats are 'Fast Formats', which are highly recoverable. A 'Full Format' overwrites sectors with zeros, which is much harder (and sometimes impossible) to recover from.
