What is some software for file data recovery on a hard disk?
There are several types of software that can aid file data recovery on a hard disk. For example, webpages such as 'recover my files' have this type of software for download.
What is compact disk file system?
The Compact Disk File System or CDFS is a format used for storing information on CD's. It uses a laser to burn data into the disk for later viewing.
What is disk corruption?
Disk corruption is the general term used when data stored on the computer is lost due to a mechanical hardware failure. Disk corruption in hard disks is usually due to the disk head crashing into the disk, on which the data is encoded, cause permanent and irreversible loss of data. Also means a part of a file may be partially affected. This makes the particular file 'corrupt' and cannot be used as data will be completely or partially lost.
How to recover a lost disk?

How much old data can be recovered from a working hard disk?
All of the "old data" that has not been overwritten can be recovered in Windows and MS-Dos. When a file is deleted in Windows / MS-Dos the first character of the file name is changed to a question mark. This releases the allocated disk space of the deleted file to the free disk space. The data itself is not touched until a program overwrites the data in that allocated space. This is not true of most other operating systems.
Why it is required to format the hard drive before writing data on it?
Formatting prepares the file system - it writes certain data structures to the disk, which are required to maintain the file system.
Could there be complete files in unallocated space?
Yes - when you delete a file from Windows or any other system, it just informs the computer to mark that specific area where the file as free/unallocated space in the file table (a list of file names and where they are located in the disk to help your computer keep track of them) of your disk. Likewise with formatting a disk, it just wipes the volume with a completely new file table. This means that the data still remains on disk even though the computer no longer identifies that space as data. Because of this, this is generally why people say if you want to recover something after a accidental deletion, do not do anything that writes data to the disk as you may accidentally overwrite the areas that contain the data that was to be recovered.
