Can somebody help? I need unformat.exe to unformat hdd in DOS that was formatted my mistake.
Where can I download it?

First, I do not think you can use it on FAT32 partitions. Other than thay, you get UNFORMAT.COM from the DOS directory of MS-DOS
5.0, 6.0 or 6.2--and maybe from 6.22. Then you use SETVER if you are running a different version of DOS such as 7.0. If it will not accept UNFORMAT you will have to use a boot disk from the version with UNFORMAT in it. But you can unformat FAT16 partitions.

First, Fred6008 - Who told you he has a FAT32 partition in the first place?
Tom - Please tell use what version of DOS you are in fact useing.
I then may be able to send you the correct version.

im goin to write an unformat command when im finished undelete...i cant finish undelete however until i figure out how multiple clustered fat directories are linked.
basically if you leave the drive alone, in a few weeks i should have a good beta ready

I need that tool also.
I tried to format my d: partion (NTFS)
When it was finished my e: partion (FAT32) was empty.
Now i have in win2000 a d: partion what is not empty, my e: partion is empty.
However when i check fdisk there is only c: and d:? It's is really strange, cause the size of d: and e: are swapped?
Can anyone help my to get my data on e: back?

I accidentally format my D:\ drive and i have had a lot of important files i stored in there. This morning i could find unformat.com and i'm very happy on this bec. i thought that this could solved my problem but unfortunately when i run it by typing c:\unformat d: it gives me an error message saying invalid or unspecified drive.(Why it gives me an erro like that?) Do you have any unformat.com that you can give to me so i can restore back my important files? I thank you in advance for your help.

I need some kind of unformat utility as well. I tried to formate my C:\ drive to clear it before I installed a new OS, and then When it was all said and done, I realized that my D:\ drive was gone. It is a FAT32 drive. Is there something out there I can use to recover my lost data? Thanks,

i have windows 98 and no others versions of dos commands or anything. I have accidently formatted my second hard drive with my girlfriends important docs. on it. PLEASE HELP...matter of life or death

The Unformat utility provided with Norton System Works 2002 WILL NOT WORK with NTFS formatted drives (you can format a drive with Windows XP or Windows 2000 as either FAT16 [2GB limit per drive letter], FAT32, or NTFS. NTFS is preferred because it supports the enhanced security, encryption, and compression features of Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Good news! You CAN get an UNFORMAT program for NTFS from a company called bitMart. Go to http://www.bitmart.net/undelete.htm. The free demo recovers files up to 32KB, while the Standard version recovers all file sizes and costs only $30 US. There's also a pro version for about $50 US.
For other options, search Google with the options +unformat +NTFS. You'll find several options.
