Recover data from formatted IDE hard devices drive
Integrated Drive Electronics-IDE is a computer hardware bus used primarily for hard drives and optical drives
Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) refers not just to the connector and interface definition, but also to the fact that the drive controller is integrated into the drive, as opposed to a separate controller on or connected to the motherboard.
Integrated Drive Electronics later renamed to ATA, with the alias P-ATA ("parallel ATA") retroactively added upon introduction of the new variant Serial ATA. The original name reflected the innovative integration of HDD controller with HDD itself, which was not found in earlier disks. Moving the HDD controller from the interface card to the disk drive helped to standardize interfaces, and to reduce the cost and complexity.
Many IDE devices(including Laptop Hard Drives and standard IDE Hard Drives.) have to format.if you will format IDE drive,make sure the important data have been backuped.Otherwise,you need unformat the IDE device.
Of course,if you lost files after format IDE hard drive,you can recover the files with data recovery software.
Now,EIDE was an unofficial update (by Western Digital) to the original IDE standard, with the key improvement being the use of direct memory access (DMA) to transfer data between the disk and the computer without the involvement of the CPU, an improvement later adopted by the official ATA standards.
In 1994, about the same time that the ATA-1 standard was adopted, Western Digital introduced drives under a slightly new name, Enhanced IDE (EIDE). These included most of the features of the forthcoming ATA-2 specification and several additional enhancements. Other manufacturers introduced their own variations of ATA-1 such as "Fast ATA" and "Fast ATA-2".
The new version of the ANSI standard, AT Attachment Interface with Extensions ATA-2 (X3.279-1996), was approved in 1996. It included most of the features of the manufacturer-specific variants.
