I did a reeeeally stupid thing today... I was all set to reinstall Windows, and I forgot my external hard drive was plugged in. For some strange reason, it was read as a D: in the setup and my second internal HD was read as E:, but they're both the same size so I thought the D: was my second internal. Anyway, I deleted the partition on the D: and created a new, raw one. BUT, I didn't format it. My question is... is there ANY way at all to get my files back on my external HD? Everything on there is basically my life... My entire portfolio (stored nowhere else), important papers, and even just billions upon billions of pictures from many years ago.. If I lose that, I don't know what I'll do. So anyway, I'm frantically searching for a way to somehow recover these files on my external. I really hope it's possible, and I hope NOT formatting it will aid in the recovery... I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
