Recover data from full format on NTFS partition
I had 2+ documents, journals, and they were fully viewable on my external when I was ready to format my Vista laptop. After format, only 16 pages of one (shoulda been 140+ pages) and 0 of the other were saved/viewable/available on the external. Otherwise it seems to have saved everything else. Naturally, pretty much the only documents I want.
