Recover exFAT Partition Data

exFAT is the latest file system introduced by Microsoft especially for external devices like memory cards, thumb drives, external hard drives etc. As you can easily interoperate these devices between different operating systems. Thus, this file system is compatible with all other file systems, unlike NTFS you can make use of exFAT for all other operating systems. Also, exFAT provides more than 4GB of storage space, thus eliminating the chances of having FAT instead of exFAT partitions on external storage devices. Even though it has advanced features for data storage and organizing, it is also susceptible to data loss in some unavoidable situations. Sometimes, while working on these exFAT partitions, you may lose your data due to some unknown reasons. If you experience such instances what will you do?

You might even check all other partitions, after-which you will realize about the attached thumb drive and check it. Then, you will find that instead of formatting your C: drive, you have formatted your thumb drive i.e. the exFAT partition. This results in loss of data from your exFAT partition.
