If you’ve already started using that drive (even a little) before you recovering files from a formatted hard drive, you risk overwriting the files you’re trying to recover. I once popped open a drive thinking I was just going to do a quick operation, only to realize later that I’d saved new files on it. Major bummer! Not all recovery software works perfectly every time.
