mikeock Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 My 60 gig hard drive says it is no longer formatted. Has anyone ever recovered a hdd and if so what software did you use to do so ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeock Posted October 12, 2002 Posted October 12, 2002 I actually found a decent program to do so. The name is GetDataBack and it recovered 32 of the missing 40 gigs. Very nice program and I do recomend it to anyoen in need. It did leave some fo my folders numbered so I will be sorting forever on that but it di recover it.
