Hi Team,
I had issue with my Hard Drive and HP recovery wizard did the factory reset. But I lost all my data in it.
Can you please help me how can I recover my data. Is there any assistance or support provided by HP.

Hi,
If the data is really important you should take to a professional to see if they can recover any data for you.
You can try to use an application such as Recuva to try to recover files from the drive. You will need to perform the deep scan (which can take a really long time).

Hope it helps,

There's still a chance that you can recover formatted drive.
My suggestions are:
- Stop making any changes to the formatted hard drive
- Install a reliable third-party recover software like MiniTool Power Data Recovery, to recover data from formatted hard drive (this also works with formatted removable devices).
