Recovery of Deleted Files
My darling sister has deleted all of my musc files (over a thousand). Instead
of choosing to send them to the Recycle Bin, which I could fix, she chose to delete them. Please tell me I can recover my files!? |

Stop using your PC ASAP. The more you use it the less likely you are to
recover the files. Google "Recover Deleted Files" and "undelete". Preferably on a different computer. "M.Damon" wrote in message ...

Please tell me I can recover my files!? No back up of the thousands of files on removable media? Get yourself an external hard drive for Next Time. Burn DVD-Rs regularly, too. For now, see this information about data recovery: *IMPORTANT* - It may be possible to retrieve the data by software methods. DO NOTHING FURTHER ON THE DRIVE. The data is still on the hard drive but if you overwrite it, it will be extremely difficult or impossible to recover it. If you use data recovery software, install it on another machine and either use it from that operating system or create a bootable cd/floppy and work with that. If you don't have the skill and/or equipment to do these procedures and the data is crucial, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop that has experience in doing data recovery. This will not be your local version of BigStoreUSA. In-shop data recovery is usually not exactly cheap (for ex., my charges are generally $150-350USD), but it normally costs less than sending the drive to a company like Drive Savers. You need to make the determination of the value of your data and decide what to do. If money is no object, just send the hard drive to a professional data recovery company like Drive Savers (my preference) or Seagate Data Recovery. General prices run from $500USD on up. Drive Savers recovered all the data on a failed laptop drive for one of my clients and it cost $2,700. He thought it was worth the money; only you know what your data is worth. I understand that some insurance companies are now covering data recovery charges so check with yours. Drive Savers - http://www.drivesavers.com Seagate Data Recovery Services - https://www.seagatedatarecovery.com/ If you want to try this yourself, here are some links to various programs. I use Easy Recovery Pro, but it is expensive. People whom I respect have recommended R-Studio and Restoration. YMMV. http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html PCInspector File Recovery - http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/welcome.htm Executive Software ?Undelete? - http://www.undelete.com/undelete/undelete.asp R-Studio - http://www.r-tt.com/ File Scavenger - http://www.quetek.com/prod02.htm Ontrack's EasyRecovery - http://www.ontrack.com/software/ Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! |

Please tell me I can recover my files!? Maybe. "Deleting" a file doesn't actually delete it; it just marks the space as available to be used. There are third-party programs that can sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by the file is likely to become overwritten very quickly, and this makes the file unrecoverable. So your chances of successfully recovering this file are decent if you try recovering it immediately after deleting it, and rapidly go downhill from there. If you've been using the computer since then (for example to write this question and read this answer), your chances of getting all of them back may be poor by now. But if the files are important enough, it's worth a try anyway. Stop using the computer in question immediately, if you haven't done so already. Download an undelete program (here's one: http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html but there are several others to choose from; do a Google search) on a friend's computer and bring it yours on a floppy to try. If this fails, your only other recourse is to take the drive to a professional file recovery company. This kind of service is very expensive and may or may not work in your case. |

Recovery of Deleted Files
Recovering a lost file is now not a problem with so many 'data recovery' (http://www.stellarinfo.com) software available online. Data recovery software helps to recovered data even from formatted hard drive or data lost due to software malfunction, viruses or even sabotage. I have used Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software a file and partition recovery utility which provides data recovery from any type of permanent deletion. A Demo version of the software helps to see the preview of the recovered data. Demo version can be downloaded from: 'Partition Recovery Software recovers windows data and provides NTFS & FAT file recovery' (http://www.stellarinfo.com/partition-recovery.htm) If demo is able to show you the preview of the recovered data then get the full version to save it. -- Banjo Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

You can try to recover your music files using Easy File Undelete: http://www.munsoft.com/EasyFileUndelete/ It uses unique modern algorithms to recover files that other software either recovers incorrectly or is unable to detect. |

In fact you can use one of the several software available to recover
your data, I personnaly use Undelete Plus but there a lot of other software. Here's a blog I found that talk about data recovery with some freeware http://data-recovery-data-recovery.blogspot.com/ I hope you'll find some information |

When following up to a previous post, you don't need to include everything.
Snip out what's not relevant. But do include what is relevant. Some people may have missed the original post. ========================== Got Vista problems or questions?
