If you have it set-up correctly then it can ;)

I was right about that :D

140889 2003-05-03 04:00:00 Computer Forensics is overkill JM, cost would be around $500 +++ .

It is quicker, cheaper and faster to use Nortons .

My main objection to freeware is the sheer number of files, which would probably exceed any concept the freeware writer considered, and the lack of certainty in the outcomes .

The ease of using a mature program makes it a worthwhile purchase, and you get all the other Norton tools as well, including a fresh subscription to NAV . Downloading 14GB would take an awful long time .

140890 2003-05-03 04:22:00 Fair enough Billy T. I'll let you have that one, it certainly would cost a lot. But if you REALLY wanted it back you'd do that.

Just if it was me I'd realise that none of them were crucial files and know that I could get them back in a couple of hours in three weeks time.

Norton is OK, but to be honest I don't have a lot of faith in its ability to bring back stuff from the ether. Easy Recovery Pro is a good program, download the trial and see what it can pull off. I initially had a friend download it through kazaa to try and recover some files of a crashed hdd and was so convinced that I brought it. Definitely a tool to consider adding if your budget can stretch to it.

140892 2003-05-05 02:46:00 How well is Norton's Undelete?

I tried using Norton's Undelete but it couldn't do a thing with NTFS although this was when NTFS was relatively new, things may have changed now.

I used a program that is excellent called Get Data Back for NTFS or Get Data Back for Fat which restored about 10gigs of Data I had lost and that I had deleted purposely. I don't have a link to it but searching on Google will bring it up. I'm not sure about the limitations whether you had to buy it or is shareware as I only had to use it the once and was desperate to get my data back that I'd pay just about anything.

140893 2003-05-05 02:54:00 Hi Trev

From your link it appears that Drive rescue has been either completely discontinued as a free download, or the code has been sold and is now available from the commercial site this URL now links to.

140894 2003-05-05 03:24:00 you're right Billy, it's gone, bummer, as it was a good programe that saved me a few times (at least I've still got it!) .

Since 1sikmaz has gone too, maybe the drama is over and everything is all roses again?

140895 2003-05-05 04:22:00 Although rarely needed, I have found Nortons excellent. I didn't take to it until I moved to W95 though, as I had previously always used the undelete (Oops) feature of XTree Gold which was simple and fast.

Usually I pull deleted or missing files from my Ghost backups and most others get captured by the Recycle Bin so it is a rare event to lose one thoroughly enough to need Nortons these days.
