Hey guys,

I'm in need of some data recovery software to possibly recover some data from one of my hard drives. What's your favorite programs, or what would you recommend to do this? It can either be free, or "pay" software, it doesn't matter.

Let me know. :)

Thanks,

-Shane

If you just ****ed up the partition table, then take a look at testdisk (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk) - it can restore partitions back to how they were before without any data loss.

Last time i had to recover data, i used Ontrack EasyRecovery Professional (http://www.ontrack.com/easyrecoveryprofessional/) to recover files - and it recovered most of the data and managed to save a majority of the filenames.

Iomega (http://www.iomegadatarecovery.com/index.html) also offers a data recovery service if you cant quite recover everything on your own or want it done professionally. Though what the difference might be, i cant say i would know.

I have used many of them, a CRAP load. The only one that worked great and found everything, was called Getdataback, but after it searches and fines your crap, its like 10 bucks or something to get it back, but worth it.

Do a search on google for it.

I use winundelete. It's a pay program, but if you can wait until Monday, I can get the key. I have it written down at my office. Don't save anything or you run the risk of writing over whatever it is you want to recover, but I'm sure you know this.

OnTrack Easy Recovery Pro. That is what we use at work and I gotta tell ya, it works like a charm. So long as the data a) hasn't been written over, or b) the HDD isn't shot to shit, OnTrack has a a pretty good recovery rate.

I thinks Data Recovery Wizard is also useful to this job too. It worked fine for me before.

Stellar Phoenix FAT & NTFS - [spam] has the ability to recover the lost data even if the drive got formatted, or due to software malfunction, or virus attack, or even sabotage. It provides partition recovery from FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5 file systems.
If you haven't tried this utility, you can try by downloading the demo version from: [spam]
Run the software on different hard drive (making your faulty hard drive as slave from which you want to recover your data). See what demo shows to you, if you are able to see your recovered data then to save it get the full version.

Hope it will solve your problem.

:D :eek: ;) you can have a try on handy recovery (http://www.tomdownload.com/utilities/system_utilities/handy_recovery.htm).
It can restore accidentally deleted files on hard and floppy drives with FAT12/16/32, NTFS and NTFS 5 file systems.

Again: in a 3-4 month old thread, i'd hope the problem was solved already. No point in posting more random links.

Late Reply? The thread was created 5 months before you joined. And bumped a month before you joined. There's a difference between 'late reply' and 'replying to a thread that existed before you joined'
