you will need data recovery software or professional service to done.

quick format will let you get a files but heavy zero out DOD 7 wipe will be non recoverable.

at this point you need recovery software or or professionally serviced

A stora "reset to factory" doesn' format the harddrive. Have you tried to recreate the user accounts that you had before the reset, to see if your data re-appears in these accounts? It should.

Thanks,
Roby!

Im not sure that i follow you, recreate the user accounts? after it formatted i could see my account but only default empty folders under familylibrary. And im still having problems too get any recovery software to see the hdd with my sata dockingstation connected to my pc, the recovery software doesnt recognize the filesystem. Under windows7 diskmanager i can see the hdd and 2 partions thats all.

I tried out stellar phoenix ntfs data recovery and it could only scan the sectors on the hdd nothing else.

"I was told by a Stora developer and other members here on the forum that the harddrive platform was Linux based. I have tried Linux software to recover some lost data and they would not work. I downloaded different recovery applications and FINALLY I AM AT THIS WRITING RESTORING ALL MY LOST FILES. Today is the happiest day of my life since I lost this data early December or late November.

It turns out the actual file format is NTFS of some unknown type. If you need to recover data, use "Stellar Phoenix NTFS Data Recovery."

I would know if you quoted it came from other URL.

I guess you need to ask the guy who were able to restore it..

Shamrock,

If you hard reset the Stora you can recreate the user account and you will see the files.

if you really want to see the files stores on the Stora drive these are the things that i can suggest for you:

1. Go to http://puppylinux.org/main/index.php?file=Download%20Latest%20Release.htm and download Puppy Linux. It is a ISO file and you can burn it on a DVD rom, this is already bootable.

2. Insert the bootable DVD rom in your computer and shut down.

3. Remove the HD in your Stora drive and connect it to your PC.

4. Turn on your desktop computer and select boot from DVD/Cd

5. It will boot into a Linux OS. Once you are on the Linux OS you will see the Stora HD in XFS file system. Open it and you will see the folders of each user account.

I hope you did not format the Stora HD in the preference option

Hi. I would suspect that after three years, the hard drive might be being used elsewhere. So, any data that was on it, will be long gone.

First of all, don't write anything into the drive after format it. Then get a data recovery software to help you.
