Hi, I am in sort of problem right now. I purchased an open box laptop from a shop and my mistake that I had not verified the specs at the time of purchase. After a use of about 3-4 days, it revealed that it was a different laptop packed in wrong box.

I went to shop; they are not able to help me as

1. There are some of my Microsoft Word files they have recovered from my system showing a date created before the date of purchase. (I removed all of my data before bringing to the shop). I checked at my other PC, all of the dates they are quoting are in fact date modified. Technical staff at shop is not buying this reason.

BECAUSE

2. They are saying that they found these files in a formatted partition. I am unable to get it as I never formatted the Hard disk of this laptop. And the partition was formatted well before the date of purchase.

I need your help to know that what mechanism can lead to this condition. Especially point 2. I hate being implied as a thief.

Hi,

I know a way to recover data from the formatted partition: using a data recovery software. Cool

I just know one: EASEUS Data Recovery Software.
Smile

Best Wishes!
