Just remembered that i had about 200mb of photos on the hard drive.
The hard drive has just been subjected to a deletion of both partitions.
Reformat and Win XP installed.

Is there anyway of un-deleting them files?

thanks

Restorer2000. About 20 quid and can restore everything from a formatted HDD.

Download the freebie first and you'll see if the files you want are there!

crap, that didn't work.
Any other ideas? I have tried undelete pro, but nothing.

You might have overwritten the sectors where they existed. Strange, Restorer2000 usually finds everything that's available.

Don't give up just yet, can you take the drive out of use to prevent any more damage until something else turns up?

Are you willing to pay for professional data recovery?

[d3ano]

pro recovery is a couple of hundred quid. Its bad not having them photos and docs, but its not as if i can't live without them. Will just have to go on holiday again
Will keep trying with the app, its been the best one so far and has dug up stuff that was deletes 2 yrs ago! Just hope i havn't gone over them sectors.

Was that restorer2000 that didn't work?

[d3ano]

both didn't work. It didn't find the files that i wanted so i assume that i must of written files over the ones i wanted. oh well teach me a lession not to burn stuff to CD. doh!

Restorer2000 worked!!! WOOHOO!!!
had to buy the package (about£30) but it found the files. I was looking at the wrong FAT drive.
i had it NTFS.
Thanks Rob, worked a treat

You're welcome.... and Doh

Got all my mates baby pictures and videos back from a seriously fubar'd drive once. It's been known to save my bacon at work, and that of network admins who don't check their backups on a few careless occasions too. Well worth the money

would i be right in saying, that as i have now bought a licence i am now able to use this on any machine that "i" have/own?
