| 695777 | 2008-08-08 11:40:00 | Another data recovery program I use is get Data Back (www.runtime.org) - it will read a Drive that's showing as RAW, it will also display the results in the windows explorer format, for example you would open the Search results - drive, Documents and Settings /your user name/ My Documents or Desktop etc. Example of recovery Tree (www.imagef1.net.nz). Note: that drive showed as RAW in windows on a working PC. If the drive is 300Gb you have to remember that the recovery programs dont know what you want to search for so they will scan the whole drive, you can tell get data back to search from sector XXXXX to XXXXXXx with X being a number you put in, BUT you have to know what the sectors are you want. Generally a large drive is easy, you set it going and leave it over night, the next morning its done. Once done you can save the search and reload it in about 2 minutes if needed again. The drive shown above is a 80Gb, and took about 3 1/2 hours from memory to do the original scan, and 2 minutes to reload the results tonight for this post (screen shot) Get Data Back is not free, but it does a great job, the picture above is of another customers drive that Linux rolled over and played dead with. I have erased the customers names in that pic but you get the idea, and it will allow you to try first then if you want the data you pay for the license code. |
