Need to save my files…..

arnold_55 · 05-16-2008, 03:17 AM

Hi everyone, I have a problem that I would like to share with you. I recently bought a hard disk and had formatted it on my friends system. The installation had no problems and I copied some software in that. But later I found that I could not read some of the files and without my knowing my friend formatted the disk. Now I have lost some important data and need to get back that in any case. Please do suggest some good tools which can help me get them back without much hassle.

Thanks in advance!!!

Welcome to TSF.

GetDataBack is easy to use, but costs about $70.

If it's not too many files - try this: Have you "lost" a hard drive, partition or files in your computer?

And if you want to use freeware, I can suggest Smart Fat Recovery or Smart NTFS Recovery or Recuva.

But, of course, freeware is freeware - paid software usually performs better...
