hi all, i do abit of p.c fixing on the side, a guy rang me up and said he had formated his drive and whants to now if i cud get back his photos? ive used a product call,d stellar phoenix.. data recovery and its very good got nearly 9 gig back including the most of the guys photos it did cost me 80 quid but thats put on his bill, now its not a simple case of putting a [password in to use this brilliant tool, when you have activated it, it will only allow you to use it on that 1 hard drive, but this tool is excelent

Yup, dead easy.

Any chance of a copy.

I'll do you a trade for a copy of some software that totally erases the disk so no one can retrieve the data, it does upto 99 swipes across the disk, takes 72 hours

 

ste did you read my post, i said it only works on one hard drive, even with the seriel and full download it wont work as it looks for the number on the hard drive it was instaled on, in other words the seriel is linked to the hard drive

Cheap alternative...Ontrack Data Recovery suite.

There's big bucks in DR, we do it at work, set yourself up Morto

 

ranj, how much is it mate?

andzz

 

ranj forgot to say that the hard drive i did wasent dead, just formated i thouhght the big bucks were in dead drives, as my mate used to do it for companys and wud cost a fortune to recover

Doesn't matter what drive it's on, if someone think's they've lost the entire accounts for that year, they will pay whatever lol

We did a recovery job for some BIG ppl, BP over in Turkey, they paid just short of Ł15k for their data.

Ontrack's software is available from their site, which is: http://www.ontrack.co.uk/easyrecover...2+Professional

Hmm, not so cheap anymore, but hey, a one off purchase to that could reward you very nicely

It allows you to slave drives on your PC, and work at recovering the required.

 

I got some stuff that'll recover after approx 9 formats

 

Dan, what's it called?

 

can anyone recomend anything that will recover cds?

also repair media files?

 

We've done CD's and DVD's before Chris, but not sure on the methods or software involved, I'm unfortunately not in the tecky area

What sort of media files need reparing?

 

basically i had a data cd with pics and vids on and with easy cd creator u can ether leave it as a open data cd so u can keep adding files or close it so it can b played on all cd roms.

after i closed the cd, i went to read the cd again and it said the structure of the cd was damaged. weird cos i can read the cd on a older spec pc running windows 98 (my comps running xp) i used bad copy pro which recovered all the files on the cd but the vids only play for like a minite and then stop. the footage is there as when i play the recovered file on the older pc it plays all the way through but after the first min or so it beomes quite broken up. (the part that wont play on the xp machine)

if ur still with me after all that i just wonna know if theres any software out there i can try.

 

btt

 

i have access to clean labs that will recover from damaged hd inc smoke damage etc

 

i use the ontrack datarecovery stuff. seems to work quite well
