3 steps to recover reformatted hard drive under Mac OS
Once Magoshare Data Recovery for Mac has been successfully installed on your Mac, run it from Launchpad. Then you can use it easily and completely restore lost files from reformatted hard drive under Mac OS.
Step 1: Choose the reformatted hard drive and scan for your lost data.
Once the software has been run on your Mac, you'll see a list of all the available hard drives on your Mac computer. Now, choose the reformatted hard drive. If the hard drive is an external hard drive, make sure you connect it to your Mac properly. And it should be available on the list.
Step 2: Scan the reformatted hard drive to find lost data.
After you choose the correct hard drive, click on the "Scan" button to start the scanning process.
Step 3: Preview all the lost data and start the recovery process.
After the scanning process is done, on the next screen, you can see the preview of all the files you can recover. Now, look for the lost data you want to recover. Click all of them, and click "Recover Now" button to start the recovery process. Wait and... Viola! All the data has been recovered.
For the last step, all you need to do is simply waiting until the recovery process is done. The process may take a few minutes or longer than 10 minutes. It depends on how big the size of data you want to recover. And don't try to open any software because it can make the process run slower.
That's it how to recover data from reformatted hard drive easily under Mac OS. Whether the hard drive is reformatted by Disk Utility or third-party disk formatting tool for Mac, Magoshare Data Recovery for Mac can completely restore all lost files. But, please don't put new data to the reformatted hard drive before you get all lost data back.
