How Do You Restore Mac Data After Formatting Macintosh Hd

In Macintosh OS X an inbuilt tool- Disk Utility allows you to perform the formatting

Formatting is only performed for your certain purpose, such as

1. To get rid of a deadly virus, which cannot be removed using an anti-virus software.

2. Replace damaged file system or Macintosh HD structures.

3. Reinstall operating system to fix boot errors or restore missing system files.

4. Remove all the files and folders unwanted from Macintosh HD.

Is it possible to recover Mac files? Yes, it is possible to recover Mac files after formatting. In fact, disk formatting doesn't remove the files (until they are overwritten by other files). When you format a Macintosh HD, the file system of disk is replaced with a new empty file system, thus, the entries of all the files and directories stored on the disk are erased and they become inaccessible. But hard drive maintains an index file, which tells the operating system where a particular file is stored. When you format the hard drive, links between index and file are deleted. The file remains physically intact. You can restore Mac files as long as the original files are not overwritten by other files.
