Windows XP Data Recovery for Formatted Hard Drive

[JasonOyster]

I recently formatted our family pc which had Windows XP Media Center Edition on it.

I changed the O/S to Windows XP Professional.

Ive fitted a spare hard drive and formatted that via disk management.

There were 4 user accounts on the pc and i backed up my mum and dads files, but little did i know my brother had images from his holiday in his account.

Does anyone know of any free data recovery software that will allow me to retrieve those images?

And if i do have to pay for one? What is the best one to use?

This was only done yesterday, so there may still be time to retrieve them (i hope)

please please please help thank you

Hi,

This should get you going in the right direction, is probably the best for free.
