I have wrongly formatted C:/ in WBFS format by using WBFS GUI.
It's still working fine after i press the button.
But, I can get in Window anymore after restart.
Please help!!
Ok, listen very closely. There is only one way for you to get windows working again.
Inside your computer case is a hard drive. Since you formatted into WBFS, you need to revert it back to NTFS. Luckily, a magnet will help with this.
First things first: open up your computer case. Then remove your hard drive (it is usually held in there by screws).
Second step: Get your hands on the most powerful magnet that you can get. If you don't have any, you can order one on the internet.
Third step: Take the magnet and run it across the top of the hard drive. ***IMPORTANT*** You have to run the magnet in only one direction. If you run the magnet in more than one direction it will destroy all your data and you will not be able to get it back.
Running the magnet over the hard drive several times (about 20 times) will revert the hard drive back to NTFS.
Next time, double check which drive you are formatting before clicking ok.

I hope you were kidding when you posted this. If not, your data is toast. Hope you have a backup, otherwise get a windows disc and reinstall.
As far as the post about using a magnet, funny. Wish I could see someone trying that.
I misunderstood the question . Bob is right the only way is to reinstall Windows . It is possible recovery your data with a partition recovery software . You would need another pc
with windows and you would need to remove the hard drive you formatted to WBFS . Once you have done this you would need to plug in the second hard drive to the pc running windows and run the software . If you don't have a spare pc you could also do this using a live cd like ubuntu live cd or something similar .

That's not even funny. Well ok it's kinda funny, but only because some people will actually try it in desperation!

Of course its funny. If someone was to try that without researching the technique first is a fool. My question is, what has the OP done about his HDD? I'll laugh if he did what I suggested. Actually that would be kinda sad, you can almost say I pity the fool...
