Summary
Free download Bitwar Data Recovery to recover deleted or lost music with ease.
Yesterday we got an inquiry from one of our users: How can I recover my favorite music after I performed a quick format? I lost all of my music which I love very much, can you please help me to restore this music.Thanks.Anyway, there's no need to worry; we have Bitwar Data Recovery to help you to recover this music.
What is the difference between Quick Format and Full Format?
Quick Format is just a way to make the formatting process quick; the drive will not check for bad sectors. Although after Quick Format, we can not see any of the files from this partition or drive, the files still exist and wait for being overwritten by some new data. In this situation, we still have the chance to recover deleted files after Quick Format.
Full format runs a more in-depth step to check every bad sector of the hard drive; this process will take a longer time than Quick Format. Also, a Full format completely wipes your hard drive, which means there shouldn't be any recoverable data left for a program to access.
Warm Prompt
We suggest you perform a Quick Format first because there's still have a chance to roll back with a data recovery software if we wrongly formatted our important data. Whenever you are sure that the partition can be cleaned thoroughly, then you can perform a full format. Generally, if we would like to sell or donate our computer to others. To protect our privacy, we always perform a full format on the hard drive before selling out.
