Continuation of this question:

I am trying to recover an accidentally formatted partition using TestDisk.

After selecting the partition and selecting Undeleted, it says, No deleted file found.

enter image description here

enter image description here

I know it's a silly question, but I just want to make sure that the data really is out of reach. Or is there anything I can do to recover them?

I tried to repair my partition table using bootrec.exe/FixMBR and bootrec.exe/FixBoot; can this be the reason why TestDisk doesn't work any more? I haven't written anything on that partition.

Are there any low level approaches to retrieve all the lost data?

hm.. that looks nothing like what i saw on the recovery process, using this howto cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step - in this situation you are supposed to run the deeper analysis process to try to find it again. – Journeyman Geek May 23 '11 at 15:19
I started using, Ontrack EasyRecovery Pro and It successfully recovered some files. But, I sill want to make a image of the damaged partition. What software can I use to make image that should be widely recognizable by many recovery softwares? – iamcreasy May 24 '11 at 18:58
Successfully retrieved around 14GB of my documentations :) – iamcreasy May 24 '11 at 22:16
ddrescue is probably your best bet. gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html – Journeyman Geek May 24 '11 at 22:28

Firstly avoid using computer you are trying to recover data because the more use of computer reduce the possibilities of successful data recovery. Using data recovery software you can easily recover your data from the formatted or lost partition.
