You may try it yourself. Just install R-Studio on any Win7 machine and see what's going on.

Performing a quick format on a disk typically removes the file system structures and marks the disk space as available for use. However, it does not overwrite the actual data stored on the disk. If the MFT file is expanded to a larger size, it may overwrite the existing MFT records, effectively erasing information about previously stored files.

I'm afraid... Sure not 100%. Unfragmented files will be raw, that is, without their names and other attributes. Fragmented files will be either lost or recovered only partially.

Yes, that's necessary for larger disks.

Alt wrote: Mon Mar 01, 2010 8:21 am Windows 7 can severely undermine successful data recovery after a quick format by extending an empty MFT file to 256KB and effectively killing the information about 229 records of previously stored user's files. Moreover, it may quietly extend the MFT file to 256KB when a fresh disk formatted by XP or Vista is connected to a Windows 7 system.
More information.
@Alt, does it also happens using Windows 10?
