Just buy it. Whatever money you spent on the software (if it works) is going to be more than worth it. A friend accidentally erased an entire CF card worth of his holiday images, and since he desperately wanted them, he paid US$29.90 for Photo Rescue.
Warning : DO NOT (I repeat : DO NOT) do anything to the harddisk (like copy files, etc). Regards CK |

Easy Recovery Professional 6, can get it from *cough* xxxxx *cough*. Install it on another hard disk and use Format Recovery or Raw Recovery.

Hi,
Just buy the original. Your data is worth more than any money can pay. Well, if your data is only worth $10, so be it lor. Regards CK |

Lost my entire partition and Windows XP didn't even manage to recognize it as a drive. I used this http://www.wininternals.com/products...kcommander.asp
Worked great, however I needed another HDD for the application to copy all the recovered files to.  --AAZAK--Last edited by Noir; 2nd June 2003 at 02:00 PM. |

Closing the chapter on my disastrous mistake.....
Thankfully, I was able to recover all the files I need. I did purchased a legal copy of a recovery application after the demo version managed to scanned my HDD and find the erased partition. Would like to extend my thanks to all who has given advise and helped in more ways than other Defintely will be backing up my pics to my DVD media...  |

I bought restorer2000 instead as Easyrecovery was not able to find my lost partition....All these applications takes a long time to scan my entire HDD though..average time taken for scanning is ard 10hrs....Thanks for the help Wai...appreciate it....
