how to regain data

use softwares like tuneup undelete and sys mechanic...
btw dont move ny data on ur pc...

i prefer 'recover my files'
but tune-up utilities, system mechanic have good 'undeleters' too.

Lemme tell u data-recovery's best kept secret.
Restoration 2.5.14
By far the easiest, smallest and most effective free stand-alone data recovery solution I got.

U'll just love it.

Just 229 kb in size, but I just love it due to it's ease to use. I had tried out all others, including BadCopy, Recover My Files, Spin Rite, PC Inspector File Recovery & Recover98. But this one just beat them all.
The second best bet, I felt, was Recover98.

You can recover deleted files.
Use PC INSPECTOR™ File Recovery. It is a freeware.

Download it from here

R-Studio 3.0

Many a times when I have used such softwares, though it recovers the file, the associated applicaion fails to open / read it or it comes as garbage in case of MS Offcie docs.

Has anyone faced such a problem?

no way... i think there is a change in the file extension by accident. Put the old file extension and everything'll work out fine.
To cut the cr@p short, use Restoration as I said. It's the easiest and is hassle-free. Try it... U'll know why I recommend it.

I tried Restoration 2.5.14... and it worked well. Thanks..

These softwares work fine sometimes but at times recovered files become unusable. So try your luck.

i have deleted some 250 mb video and photos so i can get them?

Download from the link I have given and start recovering. You can recover most of the stuff.

i've used "Smart NTFS Recovery", for recovering photos, & its really a nice s/w, does what it has to.

Download link-> Smart NTFS Recovery - freeware (File Size: 800 KB)

mak1012, it's close to impossible... maybe some individual files might work... but i think it's not worth the risk... better download them again

i dunno about videos, but you can recover most of the photos (provided, you did not delete something else, which overwrites & makes it more on impossible side).

file recovery pro , super scan is the answer man recoverd 140gb data from corrupted harddisk and that too without any corrupting of data. just take care not to copy any new files on the hdd until you regain the data and you have to recover it to some other hdd. file recover pro is just 2.5mb software and work very fast........
hope it help ya too.....
peace
