HomerJaySimpson Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Hi peeps... I'm in urgent need of advice about recovery software...I reimaged my windows partition the other day using Acronis and without realising, i deleted all my college work! I have tried a program called Search & Recover, but it didn't bring up much...Just internet cache and useless junk... Is there a better program anyone can recommend? Or is there anything else i can do?? Pwease help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurosen Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 haven't really used it but I've heard good things about it: http://www.freewarereview.info/2005-11/pc_...covery_mag.html hope it goes well for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerJaySimpson Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Hmmm...It only lets me search for media files, no word or excel Thanks anyway though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeble Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) Well, it's not the newest version, but it works. EDIT: Just make sure you install and recover the files to a different drive so you don't overwrite anything.

BiPolar Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 and if you want to pay, Stellar Software is excellent. And Homer J, you know better...search before you ask, this has been brought up more times than i can remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerJaySimpson Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Well thanks for the help...I tried a few programs and in the end, none of them found anything useful...They found all my old college work, but nothing i need...Gotta be more careful i guess...

ClayMeow Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 testdisk ftw: http://www.cgsecurity.org/index.html?testdisk.html I used it to recover files and it worked great. Didn't find anything on the initial scan, but then it did a deep scan and found all my files. I wasn't in the same situation as you (I knew the stuff was still there, not deleted), but worth a shot. What'd you use to re-partition? If you had to reformat, then I'd say it's a lost cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiPolar Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 did you try the stella program? that worked even with a formatted disk that lost its partition table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerJaySimpson Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) I tried every program i could...Search and recover seemed to bring up the most hits...I used Acronis True Image to backup my windows partition which had all my stuff on it...Unfortunately i backed it up before i had any important stuff on there and didn't back it up afterwards... No probs though, just booked a few days off work so i could catch up and re-do all my hard work I guess i'll keep a backup on flash drive, dvd/cd, other hard drive and mp3 player in future...Just to be safe Coulda been worse...I coulda lost my CS:S cfg Edited January 19, 2006 by HomerJaySimpson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiPolar Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 bummer, man. sorry to hear that. stellar worked so well for me, i thought it was a panacea. definitely good news on your cs:s config, though! although i still suck at that game, i rarely break a 1:1 kill ratio.
