Hi, I recently used Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery – Professional software to recover data from my HDD.

The software recovered all the lost photos and videos on my hard drive when connected with my laptop.

The product is reasonably priced and won't leave you disappointed.

Formatting a drive doesn't mean that you have lost all the data that was on the drive, it just means that the format has changed. However, using that drive again will seriously impede any hope of data recovery should you start adding data to it.

From what you have said, you have just formatted the drive but haven't actually written anything to it so far. That's good.

EaseUS should (Tutorial here) be able to pull most, if not all of your data from the drive. (hopefully it can also locate the old, or a copy of, the MFT which will make it much easier) I have done RAW Recoveries on drives in the past that have taken 50+hrs to recover data back, and for the most part everything was fine as the disk itself was physically fine (as I assume yours is) and the issues was software based. (in your case formatting)

If you don't have any joy from EaseUS, you should also try Stellar. I have used it a few times in the past with great results.

As long as the drive is physically fine, then you should be OK doing this yourself. However, if you aren't comfortable doing it, the data is really important or your think that the drive may have a physical issue, then you may want to look in to seeing how much a lab would charge for data recovery.

Also, if possible, always try to clone the drive first and then attempt to recover the data from the cloned drive so you don't further damage the affected drive. I know that you don't have that issue as it seems to be software based issue and not faulty hardware; but I figured I'd say it any way.

To answer your actual question:

>It is teasing me with all my old files. The tool will run for 30 hours it seems. Anything I can do?

Yes, let it run and keep us updated as to the results. Good luck.
