| 33471 | 2002-01-29 21:11:00 | I formated my hardrive but have forgotten some information which I now need. Is there a way of getting that information back | Guest (0) | ||

| 33473 | 2002-01-30 07:20:00 | Chris If the data really matters to you, don't play with it anymore or try to unformat etc. Call Computer Forensics on 09 359 9424 (or 0800 Lostfiles I think) and talk to Cameron. They can recover your data but it costs. You have to dliver or courier your HDD to them, and the upfront fee to examine & quote is $90 plus GST. Cost from there depends on how hard it is to recover your data. They recovered all data for me off a dead drive and I considered the cost well worth it. What you will consider good value for money will depend on how important the data is to you. If it is not that important then Norton Utilities will boot from the CD or a DOS floppy disk and unformat your drive. You may or may not recover your data doing it yourself but that may be your only conomic option. In the meantime I would not turn the computer on again as every disk write lessens the chances of recovering your lost files. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
