I accidentally formatted my external WD Elements hard disk.Is there any software to undo it.Or any way to just recover the photos in it.

It depends on how you formatted it in the first place. Please tell us more about that. The exact procedure you followed.– solsTiCeJul 12, 2015 at 14:00

I used winsub to create a bootable windows from ubuntu, but accidentally used my external instead and it wiped out all my data on it.– Rahul NairJul 12, 2015 at 14:01

Take a look at testdisk
. It should recover most of the data if the drive is formatted "quickly".
