Running the deep scan now. I ran it for a few minutes, stopped it and saw that it found some music files amongst 100000 others. So, it is possible to retrieve files from a formatted or wiped drive, right?

So my friend let another friend try to fix her PC by restoring it to factory settings (HP) using the recovery partition. I've removed the drive, placed it in my enclosure and am not trying to use Recuva to recover what I can find. Looking for non-deleted files shows only those files from the OS re-install. I don't think I saw any files from the previous installation. Do I need to run the deep scan to see these files? Or are the files gone?
