W Herrera..... When you went through the format procedure ....the first thing that comes up is a warning message that says something like ...........
WARNING ALL DATA WILL BE LOST ....... Do you wish to continue .........then you must answer YES to continue or NO to stop the formating . Thats pretty plain ........
Formatting removes all data stored on the drive you are formatting.
I figure my emails are somewhere on my hard drive
If your Emails were on the drive you formatted .......they are gone........
