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 :D 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.

O I have been looking, :P
I am downloading as we speak, I will let you know if I get it takin care of.
 
Good, I hope you get it to work. I know how it feels to have [potentially] lost a lot of important data :o
 
ok guys, I was able to recover all of the files that I wanted. Only thing, is that none of them have titles and they are all listed as fil03 or something like that. Some of them arent complete and stuff like that. Is this normal?
It was pretty cool though b/c I seen the files on the partition with the program but then I formated it, b/c of my options. I recovered all the files once the HD partition was formated. Even before I formated the partition, I didnt recognize any of the files. Some of the files are still whole though. I just have to go through and rename the files I guess. Not all of them work either. Is this normal?
Thanks

Same thing happened to me... well actually a lot of the files were duplicated with named and unnamed files. I was just happy to have recovered my data so I didn't really care.
