Is there any way of undoing a formatting operation on a hard disk that has been formatted more than once?

Answer

Yes, but it depends on what/why you are asking. There are many utilities such as Partition Magic that you can run to reformat/repartition or scan a hard disk to retrieve data from previous formats/partitions, etc. Undelete and ER Lite are two data recovery utilities that I have used that work, if that is what you are asking. The previous data is still available assuming it hasn't been overwritten or destroyed using other more secure means. If your question can be more direct, a more direct answer can be given. Hope this helps.
