** LOOKING FOR SOME RECOVERY SOFTWARE **

[Jabba]

Looks like I have deleted the Australian grand prix highlights by mistake.

I know its only a very long shot but its worth a try I guess...has anyone got any decent recovery software and the necessary crack or serial number they could send me ?

Thanks

Jabba

Sorry, i am not sure to understand (remember i am french :wink: ) you want something to recover the Australian GP highlights ? I don't know if it's easy to do, it must exist but i can't help you. Maybe fishfreek or DeMoN
Really sorry. :( :(

The other way would be that someone upload it to you . I didn't d/l it so i can't help you on that point either :(

[BADMIHAI]

Sorry, J, but I can't help you there. I've never had to revcover data, so I'm out on this one.

Thats the point...I hadnt uploaded it yet....unless someone got it elsewhere....

[fishfreek]

always worth a shot--- it is not in the recycle bin is it??


final recovery looks good

[Jabba]

Will try them now fishfreek....sadly not in the bin...also the files are usually huge...so dont even make it in there...anyone from the UK by anychance record the Australian Grand Prix highlights from a couple of weeks ago ???

[gis]

sorry no jabba i didnt record them.but i will from now on just incase anythin happens again :)

[jon_s]

Some recovery stuff needs to be installed before you delete it. Like a 3rd recycle bin. Make sure what you use (especially if you are purchasing) can recover post deletion if you see what I mean.

Sorry i can't help more :( maybe tomorrow i will see people at work and then get more infos

[Jabba]

It all comes down to what you have written to your HD since the deletion...time is crucial...I think its time I face up to the fact its gone.... :|

PowerQuest Lost& Found : http://www.cyberwalker.net/reviews/powerquest-lost-and-found-review.html

I have used that one many years ago.

Alot of these applications read the raw info on the disk drive. When a file is delted from your computer its not really removed. The only thing that happens is the pointer in your FAT (File allocation table) is removed. The pointer in the FAT tells the computer there on the drive to go look for the data. When the pointer is removed the computer consiters that spot on your disk to be free and available to have data written to it.

If no data has acutally been placed overtop of the data that you deleted then you can recover it with many of these programs. If any part of the data has been overwritten then the data is lost.

This is why to truly delete a file you have to write 1's and 0's over the section of the disk that the file was located a few times to asure that every bit of data has been replaced with new data.

[Overmind]

I hope, you know that you shouldn't write anything on that HDD or else you're risking loosing the vid for sure...

here's the cracked Restorer2000 Professional (ftp://kgb_pzasddf:[email protected]/Restorer2000%20Professional.rar). When it starts simply click cancel when the reg. form appears. I've already successfully restored some files with it, so it does work.

Don't forget not to write anything on that hard drive (this also means downloading Restorer2000 to other drive etc.).

[Jabba]

Thanks alot...I will try it now...and sadly I have written to the drive already since realising my mistake... :(

[kazaam]

I have this http://www.stellarinfo.com/partition-recovery.htm if you want it ?

edit: fixed the link (doh!), I shoudl say I've used it successfully, and if you need it Jabba just say and I'll upload it

[jon_s]

Overmind, I d/l it aswell, hope you don't mind

Overmind, I d/l it aswell, hope you don't mind

go ahead, it's a free host :).

[Jabba]

I have managed to recover quite a few things that I thought were long gone...but sadly...and what is typical of life....the file I am looking for appears to be gone forever...

Thanks for everyones help anyway...

[TT]

That really sucks! And after two weeks it's impossible to see a re-run of a F1 race highlights, even in the depth of the night I fear...

last chance: recovery for all, I've mailed it to you, be sure to execute the .reg file BEFORE lauching the prog :-)

you must click on the drive, then let it search, it take a long long time but it finds more than any other prog I think...

finger crossed!!!

[PATo355]

Some programs work and some not for some types of files , is really weird , but i use this http://www.tucows.com/preview/354626.html

and its a freeware

[SFDMALEX]

Jabba if you want I have a great program called File Recovery. It recovers things from 50 years ago...I deleted a Best Motoring video once, and I recoverd it although the file was a bit choped up, but I still got something back... just PM me if you are interested.

[saadie]

norton made a software wit which u can bring back deleted files ... even after u remove em from the recycle bin ..... i donno its name though .....

my friend recorded 2004 australian gp via tv tuner ..... i got the vid .. i can upload it cant upload it bcuz its abt 88 mbs and ma uploading and downloading speed is abt 3 kb/s :x :(

[possessed_beaver]

with my nortan antivirus, it puts like a secondary protection on the recycling bin, and anything thats deleated you can recover, anyone using nortan anti virus, will probley be farmilure with this feature, and be able to explain it more.

I have the full race video its the ITV highlights show that I am looking for to complete my collection.

[jon_s]

The only problem with the Norton stuff is that it takes up 10% of your HD :?

norton can't recover a bit if it was deleted, it only creates second "recycle bin" where it puts moves files that are trying to be deleted. VERY annoying.

have you tried Easy Recovery Professional?
i've used it to recover >95% of the data on my old HD

[nthfinity]

i saw lost and found mentioned earlier
its no longer available on the market after being descoverd to be "to powerful" and bypassing computer forensics (who make money by the 100's$ per hour)
unfortunately, i dont have a copy of it here, but rather at home... but, id agree it may be a bit late to have the whole thing recovered. sorry to hear it, jabba

[Fleischmann]

It's may be too late by now :( ...but Ontrack 'EasyRecovery' has saved my life many times.

[Jabba]

Yep it was indeed to late...I will have to post something in the request section I guess.
