Best program for recovering deleted files.

[black_magiic]

I need a good program for recovering deleted files off of a drive. Any and all would be appreciated.

I like Easy Recovery Personal Edition, it's a pay program but you know what your doing.

[Krell]

I saw some on isohunt last night

There is also a program called Spinrite 6.0 that will work.

R-studio, Getdataback,O&O recovery and Easyrecovery have all saved me from myself in the past.

[Dark Messenger]

Get databack for ntfs is my recommendation.

Ditto here. Great program.

GetDataBack for NTFS is good if you've formatted your hdd or something to that extent in which the original file names have been corrupted/lost, but it's quite unnecessary to use if you've just emptied the recycle bin and afterwards realized there was something in there you shouldn't have put in there. I mean, it can take HOURS to scan. :S

For accidentally deleted files, I'd suggest using Tune Up Utilities "undelete" function. It's simple, fast, and does its job. Tune Up also has the BEST file shredder that I've seen on any program.

Ya I accidentally deleted my 85GB worth of mp3's last night and kind of want them back :P

*gives a low whistle* That's going to take a while, no matter what program you use...

You haven't added any large files to the hdd since you deleted them, right?

I have added one so I figure I will have lost a good portion although I'm hoping maybe it nuked earlier deleted stuff. I dropped 10GB worth of DV video onto the drive right after I deleted the mp3's however I didnt actually realize I'd deleted my music until this morning.

[lifehacker]

Dont you use your recycle bin?

[Krell]

Errr. . . . the recycle bin doesnt hold 85gb . . . .


:D

Got that recovery CD burned yet?

If you want to recover data, then you must only READ FROM that volume . . and you must have a volume that is larger to RECOVER DATA TO.

The software will read the MFT and sectors and copy the data for you, but you cant recover BACK TO the same drive.

Buy a new hd

I actually had the brilliant idea of clicking shift delete when I initially deleted it :D

EDIT @ Krell. Havent burned the disk yet but it's on my todo list. Im using the software Auggie reccomended and it seems to have dected it all Im just freeing space to recover it. And as for hard drives I thought we had this discussion before :P I have 4 drives a 300 a 250 a 200 and an 80 :P Just need to move some stuff to dvd some I can dump this 99GB of crap back to my drive and sort out the mp3's

It does it you got a terrabyte of storage. See me... I'm always thinking :)

[nukehella]

Man sorting through 85 gigs of recovered,probaly unlabled(after recovery)MP3's.Forget the recycling bin,you'll be in the loony bin.

[shawners]

Usenet, and BT> .. I recovered many lost files through the world of online storage =)

[The Hunter]

Being a member here the looney bin is like being home. LOL

haha no kidding


that program is recovering my files now only 4 hours to go.

[The Hunter]

Note, the only files I keep on my pc, are backed up already. It can shit the bed as I type, and nothing major is lost.

Well you can be damn sure this mp3 collection is going to have some strong redundancy when I get it all back

[The Hunter]

i dont blame you,as I learned the hard way. My first hard drive was so small that after i installed my os, and a few other programs, all i had room for was 3 or 4 songs, so i had to delete them to get more.

[black_magiic]

haha that would be so harsh

[The Hunter]

It was,but it also was educational. This was when Napster was going tits up, so doing a search was a learning experience.

lol ok ok if you say so . . but im pretty sure this is a windows limitation, and 4gb is the max it will allocate.

"Ohhhh so THERE'S my 85gb I couldbt find!! Whoa . .that's a lotta porn"



.

[black_magiic]

I believe Krell is right 3.9GB seems to be the max.

[silentscream]

dont ever use it

even used group policy to hide the icon

i have a really quick freeware recovery prog for single files

and i use rstudio for corupted volumes etc

.

[nightshadow]

But the the recycle bin slider claims to allocate a percentage of the drive? :icon_scra
J/K, I know...

I think our program MultiStage Recovery will help you to get your files back. It's a powerful and reliable tool for files recovering. The program supports all MS Windows file systems for hard and floppy drives, USB storage devices. Download it from here (http://enplase.com/getpage.php?PageName=DownloadProduct&ProductName=MultiStage+Recovery):icon_blac
