Help!!!!! How Can I Recover My Photos That Were Deleted From My Computer And Digital Camera And Memory Card?


Posted by benny

If you have deleted photos / data, ensure that you do not write any new data to your PC / memory card if you want to attempt any recovery. Any further data written to the PC / memory card may overwrite and destroy deleted photos / data at that locations.
This includes not taking any new photos using the card fix memory in your camera or using any data to the memory card.
If all deletes is done on your PC….go to the RECYCLE-BIN, you may be able to find it there if you just delete w/o the shift-key. Just select the photo you want to undelete….right click on it then click restore. It will restore to the original folder.

Is There A Freeware Ntfs Data Recovery Software For Sata Hdds After Formatiing And Re-partitions?


Posted by benny

I have lost some music and Office work files on my SATA HDD with NTFS partitions due to MBR failure. Later I had to do partitions again and have to load the XP Prof. SP3. Is there a way that I can get the imp. files again from the HDD for free of charge. I really can’t afford the cost of recovery softwares at this moment. I need the recovery of some imp. files of 5MB Office files and some mp3′s.

“bad File Record Signature” From Partition Magic Chkdsk /f In Recovery Console Reports Unrecoverable Errors


Posted by benny

Its happened to 2 sata ntfs 750gb drives and i dont know why (maybe overheating or bad psu?) data recovery software works but needs 3 days to copy each drive!
Is there a quicker way to restore the drives?Is it the mft or boot sector or the partition table?Which is safe to restore or rebuild without losing the chance to do a slow data recovery if all else fails?
What about trying Norton Disk Doctor at reboot?Can Spinrite fix this?what about Partition Table Doctor boot disk?
Any advice much appreciated as I cant afford to lose this data as i dont have a backup with me.
Weirdly one of the drives had an old xp boot partition and was giving the same error and unreadable except with active@file recovery but when i tried to boot from that disk xp somehow repaired the first (active) partition in a few minutes as it booted and it is now ok while the second logical (650GB!!) partition is still unreadable but recoverable.
I guess I need some kind of Hard Drive Super Specialist!
