I have a sata hard drive that has/had 130 gigs of music and pictures on it. I have built a new computer system and while the drive shows up on my computer when I click on it I am told that I need to format it. I had it formatted at ntfs and had 130 gigs of music and pictures on. I tried running recuva on it, but I am not able to choose this particular drive as it shows up as not formatted. On my system hard drive i am running either windows 7 or windows xp with a pentium 4. If I format this sata, data drive am I screwed or will recuva be able to get data ffrom it? I have accessed this hard drive within the last 2 weeks.
