Retrieving clips from a formatted DR HD100..
 

I formatted my DR HD1000 and realized that I didn't copy al the clips to my hard drive. Has anybody had any experience retrieving clips from a formatted DR HD100?

once you format the DR HD 100 all the data/clips is erase on the drive

Have you tried scanning the HD with any HD recovery software. If you haven't written to the drive since the format there is a very good chance you can recover it.

Are you Mac or PC?

Tim,

I have scanned the drive and the amount of data that I erased is showing up so I'm looking good at this point. I did know not to record to the drive since the format since I wanted to recover the files, I'lll keep you posted thanks for the reply. I using a mac.

A few months ago I discovered a great Mac recovery app called Stellar Phoenix.

You can use the free demo to determine if the files are there to be recovered.

I used it to recover some files from a hard drive that was dropped while on. It's worth the $99.

It's funny because that's what I have been using but tell me this are you using it with a mac or pc and with what os? I see that there is about 28 gigs worth of stuff to be recovered but it's taken for ever like over 14 hours to scan and seems like it will never finish... How long did it take to scan and what os are you running? I actually stopped it while it was looking for broken files and tried to recover what it had scanned up until that point, it gave me alot of the files (as far as names and file size) but when i went to recover all the files ended up being 33kb with no info.. I'm running 8 core intel with Snow Leopard.

I was using Leopard so maybe there is a conflict with Snow Leopard and that software?

Files that were intact seemed to be recovered quickly, but I had physical drive damage so some things were very slow, yet mostly successful.

Once you format a drive the recovery software has to scan the drive sector by sector to build the recovery image. On a firewire drive I can imagine this will take a long while. Patience...
