quick question

charleslong · 04-01-2005, 05:23 AM

I had to format my HD, b/c I got tired of little qurks that were happening. I have 3 HD's and I didnt play close enough attention when I started deleting partitions, and I deleted a partition that contained a bunch of files. I havent formated that partition yet. Is there a way for me to get these files before having to format?
Thanks
Charles

damn that sucks

I had a gang of stuff on that drive also. Probably 90gig worth of data on that one partition. I guess I will get busy again.
Thanks for the help

Don't give up yet, especially if there was important data on there. Try something like this http://www.ontrack.com/easyrecoveryprofessional/
If you only deleted the partition (and didtn't reformat it) you might even be easier ways.

Yeah I only deleted it, I would think that some how I would be capable of recovering those files. Some of the stuff was important also. I will give that a try and let you know if it worked
Thanks for your help

Yeah, you definitely should be able to. I used that program to recover data off a completely reformatted drive. Worked great.

how much was the program yeti? I am using the trial version now, to see if I can recover my files.

Shoot, I don't remember; that was several years ago. Just looked at the site... I know i didn't pay that much (~$90 just for the lite version). You might want to try looking for other programs too; there might be some free/cheap ones out there.

Some of them are for deleted partitions, and there are some cheap ones.
