I accidentally quick formatted an external drive that was encrypted. I have been able to get the encryption fixed so I can access the drive but the file system is fucked so I cant access any of the files. I have tried a few programs with various success and failure so I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas. Oh and the files are there I just need to find a good way to access them.

What encryption? What filesystem? Try Handyrecovery but make sure NOTHING writes to that drive until you restored to another drive. If youve already written something to that drive you lost. http://www.handyrecovery.com/handyrecovery-fw.exe

its truecrypt encryption and its an ntfs file system, I have not written anything to the drive I have been able to recover alot of my files but some of the video files I have are damaged. Only gom player will play them and I have found no other program that will accept them. Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one

i've had a lot of luck with active@ file recovery saved our company years of archived data lost on a borked drive it takes a very long time to scan the drive, but the results have been really good it's probably safer to take an image of the drive before scanning it so there's no unnecessary access of the drive and less potential accidental damage i just used DD on my linux machine
