Program To Recover Deleted Files

[MetDream]

I’ve tried out a couple different programs, and while they have recovered stuff from 2000 on my old computer, I cant seem to bring up a pds file that I accidentally deleted just a month ago. I found a program that says it can bring up pds files but it didn’t work either. Anyone know of a program that might do the trick?

I had often problems with my external hard disc, and after i plugged it, the disc was empty?! F**K! 250 gb thrown away...

When something like that happens, it is really important, not to write something to the hard disc, because then you would overwrite the sectors and you will loose the files.

I had the best experiences with File Scavenger 2.1 and now there is even a 3.0 Version out there. You can find it Here. I could also look, if you want, if i can find my full version anywhere- to help you out. Because with the demo you can only recovery small files (don't know how big excactly)

Sure you were searching for the right kind of files? You should be looking for .psd, not .pds.

Me and my dyslexic fingers!!!!

I found a program that identifies and finds deleted Photoshop documents. So far I found one I thought was long, long gone since I deleted it over a year and half ago. Now to find the other one I started this search to find...

There are LOAD of programmes that claim to be able to do this, but there's one "BUT" that concerns each and every of these recovery programmes.

A file is being written on the HD in several socalled sectors. When u delete a file (either on purpose or accidentally) not the actual file is removed from these sectors on the HD, but the information from the File Allocation Table (which is kinda like the "contents list" of the HD) pointing to that particular file is deleted, making the file no longer visible, let alone accesable on the HD. In this situation a deleted file may be recoverable.

Things change when, after you've deleted your file, other data is written in the sectors on the HD where your deleted file used to be. This results in 99% of the cases unrecoverable files, or maybe partial recovery at best.

There's no real way to exactly determine wether this is the case* other then giving it a shot with best possible search parameters, but if you've installed software, downloaded bootleg MP3 files, or any actions that add extra data to your HD, after you've deleted your file, there's a distinct possibility the file will not be recoverable because the sectors where it used to be in are overwritten by other data.

* I think your own experience illustrates this, you've managed to recover a file you deleted a long way back, but a file you've deleted little over a month ago is unrecoverable sofar...it's a lottery really

Hi!

I have got good results with Easy recovery professional, it's important if you don't write on the hard disc because you will overwritte the data.

Good luck!
