| 495229 | 2006-10-30 07:19:00 | Read an acticle about data recovery and it mentioned that 'Easy Recovery Professional' is the program to use. It can even recover lost data after a HDD reformat. And, it is fairly user-friendly, too. Anyone here has experiences with this piece of software? |

| 495230 | 2006-10-30 16:23:00 | have used it quite a lot and it's pretty good alright.......it can certainly recover after a format...however, as with any recovery prog it's got limitations as to how far 'back' it seems to be able to recover ....as in if I run it on this puter for example it wont recover back to the previous installation of this o/s.....I guess that's cause I"ve most likely overwritten too much ? It is very user friendly. The most 'powerful' mode is 'raw' recovery this seems to recover more than the 'ordinary' recovery but it puts all the recovered files into folders such as a folder with all the .bmp's in it, a folder with all the .docs in it etc and calls them bmp#1, bmp#2 (if I recall correctly).....not into a nice 'tree' file structure.....the 'ordinary' recovery puts all the files etc into a nice 'file tree' structure and is thus easier to identify what you are lookin at.....it also has a nice 'filter' function so you can search for/recover only .doc's if you want for example | drcspy (146) | ||
| 495231 | 2006-10-30 16:25:00 | interestingly enuf I recall running it on a floppy disk one time and recovering 2.8Mb from a 1.4mb disk ! | drcspy (146) | ||

Are you saying that you recovered 2.8 MB of data from a 1.4 MB floppy disk? It can even go that far back? Sounds pretty good to me! Thanks for the views and commends. |

| 495233 | 2006-10-31 01:19:00 | There's no such thing as a recovery programme which can always recover everything. If something has been overwritten, it has been overwritten. A recovery programme can only restore pointers ... it can't recreate data if it isn't where the pointer says. :( The sooner you realise you have done something you shouldn't have the better your chances. |
