Need advise...accidentally remove my logical partition as I was re-installing my OS....there were over 1.7GB of precious pics....I search and found a couple of recover appl on the Internet...

B4 I plunge in to purchase...anybody here has a better solution??

:confused:
 

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).

Yeah...not touching the HDD except scanning it with this demo application I have downloaded...could see files with size...but wonder can fully recover or not...it cost US99....:(

Expensive....but data more precious....that's why asking any better alternative????

try restorer2000. I managed to recover 18 gig of lost partition at almost 100% data. I have tried NU, easy recovery and others. All at NO Go except this one. However, this one is a certain for NTFS partition only else I am sorry..
 

I'm game to try anything...sound desperate right?? My wife gonna kill me as her data for School in there too:(

Anywhere to get restorer2000??

Yup, discussion is okay, but just don't want people to start posting where to download, serials, etc.
 

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...;p

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....
