What is NTFS?
If you are using Windows, then your hard drive is more than like formatted using the standard file system NTFS. NTFS is defined as “New Technology File System”. It is a high-performance and self-healing file system proprietary to Windows 8, 7, Vista, NT, 2008, 2003, 2000, which supports file-level security, data compression and auditing. It also supports large volumes and powerful storage solution such as RAID. The most important features of NTFS are data integrity and the ability to encrypt files and folders to protect your data from hard drive damage, hackers and viruses.
I just formatted a partition with NTFS file system. I didn’t mean to do it. But now my files on that partition are all lost, because I was carelessly to make a backup. I need help to unformat my NTFS partition. Does anybody know how to do it? Many thanks.

But the truth is that you can still unformat/undelete NTFS drive, which means you can recover all lost files back from that unformatted/undeleted partition. The formatted/deleted data will be lost forever only when new data on your partition overwrites it.
