I have just reinstalled WindowsXP because I felt evrything was running slowly and to many errors were occuring. I upgraded to 2x2.4Mhz=4.8 CPU and the machine is now lightning fast. I have three hard drives and when I did a format, I accidently formatted the wrong drive. I now have c:=160Ghz f:=300Ghz and g:=400Ghz. The c: and f: drives are OK but because g: was reformatted and XP installed on it, I had to remove it from my system because at startup the system would boot from G: I can however use g: via USB. There are very important video files on this g: drive which were lost with reformat. I have tried 3 different recovery programs but for for some reason the recovery programs only show the existing files and numerous old deleted files. Is there anyone who can recommend a program or way to recover these lost .avi and .mpg video files.
Since you didn't say what data recovery programs you used, I can't comment on them. If any of the programs were listed below, your only option is to send the drive to a professional data recovery company. I prefer Drive Savers, but there are others. General prices run from $500USD on up. Drive Savers recovered all the data on a failed laptop drive for one of my clients and it cost $2,700. He thought it was worth the money; only you know what your data is worth. I understand that some insurance companies are now covering data recovery charges so check with yours.
