I accidentally formatted my WBFS drive because when I had my hdd plugged in, it said that my drive was WBFS drive was W: and my NTFS drive was J:. I had to restart and then the drives swapped letters itself. I did backup my NTFS drive, because I had a few corrupt files on there. BUT NOT MY WII GAMES. Is there any software or recovery program which is able to recover and find WBFS drive games????????????

Thank You

If you haven't written anything to the drive again yet you should be able to restore the data with some good data recovery software. There are discussions out there about people doing this and they were able to recover most/all of their files.

Good luck!

I have not written anything back to the hard drive. Do you know any software which reads WBFS drives as I want my games recovered? Next time, I should learn to back them up on a dvd. LOL
