Please Help! Data Recovery Software Needed?
I’m in a bit of a state at the moment. I’ve recently installed Windows 7, and I’ve made a massive mistake. On Vista I had my My Documents, Desktop, Music, Videos and Pictures mapped to my U:/Users folder. I backed up everything onto my external HD, installed Windows 7, then went through and restored my files to my U Drive, and moved My Documents, etc, to my U: Drive. See what I did there? I stupidly, stupidly overwrote my files with blank folders. I don’t understand why it didn’t do a merge or replace, but it didn’t.
I’ve got nothing on my external HD because I stupidly did a cut and paste rather than a copy and paste.
So, I’ve got an external HD which used to have the folders backed up, and I’ve got a U: Drive partition which also used to have these folders on. Is there anything at all I can do to recover these documents? I’ve lost so much valuable stuff. I don’t care what the price is for any software – I’ll pay it.

There is a possibility. Go to download .com and get a program called PC Inspector. This can sometimes recover deleted files. They are still there until written over so try not to save anything until you have recovered them Good Luck
Try pc mags for free software for data/file recovery as said don’t save anything to the external hard drive, in fact disconnect it till ready to try and recover data from it. google search for ideas of mags etc… good luck If you’ve any serious problems E-Mail me and I’ll see what I can find, got something kicking about somewhere and isn’t to big that I can’t E-mail it to you Jim

You can try to recover your files with Easy Drive Data Recovery software:http://www.munsoft.com/EasyDriveDataReco…
It uses unique modern algorithms to recover files that other software either recovers incorrectly or is unable to detect.
Check the magazines in the shops. I got an undelete program from a magazine called PCTools, but that was some months ago now. PCtools may have a web site though I have not looked for it.
If you’re in the UK PC World offer data recovery services, I don’t know whether they’ll be able to help you but give them a call cos I think they might
