OMG!!!! Deleted 150G partition video files

[kowalino]

Hello

Just made the biggest mistake of my life

Deleted 150G of video files (xvideo, divx, avi and mpegs)!!!!!!!

Can someone help with a software to recover what i lost???

 

Already tried Acronis Disk suite to recover the partition, didn´t work.....

Right now i am in the process of running Ontrack Easy Recovery.It will last 12h and they say it will recover avi files..Let´s see...

 

I would like to know if it is best to try to recover the partition first and them the data or should i aim to the data itself??

 

I also have Hiren`s ultimate boot cd. Will this work???

 

Please need some advice

 

Thank you in advance

What you're looking for is a program called testdisk, it's free and it's probably the best partion fix thingy there is.

And the thing is, it'll only take a few moments to complete .

In my quest to get my videos back i have been trough a lot of different softwares

 

tried test disk, Omtrak easy recovery, active partition recovery and many many others.

 

And when i was almost giiving out i decided to try GETDATABACK and got ALL of my avi and mpegs back in perfect condition

 

So if anyone needs a good recovery software this one worked great for me

If you did not format the partition then I have another vote of getdataback. I recovered 100% of my files with it 2 times. Note to self never ever ever install xp with other drives connected.
