Default Recovering formatted HDD-recorder

Hello.

I did it again. Accidentally formatted my Sony RDR-HX 900
hard disc.


I won't comment...

Is there any way to recover it? It had 150 G
of films, news and importat TV-programs I have recorded
for my son.


You can invest £38 in Hard Disk Mechanic from he

Or get a pro company to do it. It will cost you though. Here's a couple
of outfits (I don't endorse either of them BTW):

If I connect the HDD to my computer it can't be seen.


This shouldn't happen. Check your BIOS (press DEL while booting the
computer). Then try running the new hardware wizard in the Control Panel
(Add New Hardware option).


But if you've re-formatted even if you can see the drive, you've lost
the data.

The structure must be some kind of very simple and
I need a program which can see it. Any suggestions?
Some kind of very flexible recovery program.

Thank you very much!


And if you do get your data back - BACKUP REGULARLY !!!!!!
