Default Need Data Recovery from HD

AND, your results will vary, depending upon how much you've used the drive since you lost
the data. You might only be able to recover portions of files, and not the whole file
itself, or not be able to recover certain files at all. The rule of thumb is to use the
system as little as possible, until you recover what you need. Otherwise, the drive
sectors that contain the files might be overwritten. I once deleted about 200 JPG files.
By the time I recovered them with EasyRecovery, I was only able to fully recover about 80
of the files. The other 120 files were either only partially recoverable, with 1/3 to 1/2
of the image viewable, or not recoverable at all. So, timely recovery is VERY important.

EasyRecovery Professional Edition from Ontrack http://www.ontrack.com/
did indeed extract files from my victim HD.


I'm learing how to use the app. I may have been misleading with my
previous description of the results it produced. I'm getting different
and better results now, but they're still not easy to use. It's not
like you can open Explorer and see the everything on the victim HD.

I'll report back later on how successful I've been.
