F10 wiped my PC

Jamesmc79 · 2007-03-05 20:17:24

I've accidentally hit F10 when my PC came on and it went into recovery mode and wiped my PC. Is there any way this can be reversed?

are you sure? I dont think F10 would like wipe the whole thing you would have had to do something else!?

Other than that I don't think its recoverable it probably formated the drive!

What is the make/model of your computer? Did you not at least give you a choice of whether to format or not?

Accidentally? Doubt it. It would have prompted you more than once to warn you were about to wipe your Hard Drive.

Data is more than likely gone I'm afraid.
