Question: How do I recover my deleted files on hard disk / files from formatted hard disk/ floppy drive?
Answer: The lost of data are usually due to virus attack, power failures, software faults, or accidental mistakes. There are several software that let you retrieve the important files but many of them are commercial and unfortunately most of the review sites seem only care of promoting the expensive software.
Now, the software that I frequently use for the purpose you have mentioned is a freeware called Handy Recovery.
Handy Recovery is a easy to use data recovery software designed to restore files acidentally deleted from hard disk, memory cards, formatted partition, virus attack, and restore the structure of deleted software etc. It can also recover files that were sent into Recycle Bin even after it has been emptied.
For whatever file recovery you intended to do, give it a try. At the time this entry is posted, Handy Recovery free version stays available online for download.
