    hi guys, i recently was forced to format my hard drive due to a crash and since then i've installed XP again, just so i could still us it. i was wondering if it is at all possible to some way get all my file back from before the crash?

    you may be able to get some of it back, when i accidentally got rid of my partition on my external and it wouldnt read, i used recover my files, it also has a format recover, so maybe that will work
