Data Recovery software ?

[Shouyi]

Hi,

 

my PC went into system recovery mode and I selected an option that reads roughly "restart as a brand new PC". The data in the hard disk seemed to be wiped out.

 

Is there anyway recommended data recovery software that I can use to retrieve the lost information ? Thanks your your help.

First thing to do is to stop using the hard disk... to prevent overwriting of data on it.

I used a professional data retrive once. You should be expecting in the neighborhood of about 1.5-3k.

 

Forgot the name, but its near keppel building or something.

yup ...run the recovery s/w from a pc, then ply the damaged HDD as slave on the pc ... and then see what comes out of it. make sure your pc's HDD has enuff space for the recovered files or you have to put another hdd to accommodate the recovered files.

 

btw, some recovery s/w recovered files but renames them to a standard filelist and not the original names.

You can plug as slave or get those usb dock station type cable at sim lim...use program like disk space fan recovery,wondershare data recovery,stellar's data recovery,ntfs recovery,fat32 recovery....etc.etc..provided your hdd still functioning...for sure 80% sure can recovery..

Do not need another PC, but you will need another external HD to recover the data from the hard disk that you have deleted. Not recommended to download the recovered data to the same hard disk.

You should be able to recover whatever data you have lost from the harddisk, using the various options available from recuva, the deep scan is gonna take times, and that's when your patience will be tested.

Hi Zappy,

 

as per your recommendation, I managed to recover about 80% of the files. Some recovered excel files cannot be opened though.

Hi,

 

I think u have to format your drive and then you have to download file recovery software which is best in the field to recover your datas. Because trying to recover from a corrupted mac drive in a boot mode is really a tough job. The tool which helped me is linked here. Use it if you wish to recover efficiently...

When you delete a file, the file isn't actually removed, just the space the file use to take -up is marked "free".

If your HD gets corrupted and it so happens to land on your MFT, you files may no longer show up or the drive is marked bad, but the data is still there. You may lose the name of your files since all that's in your MFT, but the data lives on.

So you need a data recovery software to retrieve your data. You can try to find a data recovery coupon in IfCoupons.It will save your money. Good luck.
