I formatted my 2TB external hard-drive thinking it was my memory stick. I lost everything, wedding photos, graduation...a lot of memories, nothing in the cloud.

I have tried a post on Toms-hardware Forum, which linked to this tool, which is supposed to be "the best."

Sadly after the scan nothing got detected.

What Did I do / Additional Info?

The HD was formatted, on windows 10. Inside My Computer I right clicked and did a quick format. Which took about 10-seconds to wipe a decade of memories.

The HD was a Western Digital My Book 2TB.

Any help / advice appreciated.

There is a program at www.easeus.com/resourse/recover-data-after-format.htm It cost about $65 USD, but it will restore if you have not overwritten the drive. You will need an adapter to connect the hard drive to a different computer, and I think they suggest you restore to a different hard drive which would require a second adapter. The adapters can be purchased from Amazon for between $10 and $20 You will have about $100 in it plus the cost of a new hard drive to restore the files to. That is cheaper than send the hard drive to a business that will do it for you but you can do that too. Just Google it. If you have any questions email me at ricky.robinson@att.net. Hope this helps.
