    Yeah. I don't think he will be able to recover all of it. Besides, he needs the same amount of disk space on another drive or a partition to recover them - even if the program could recover all of them (provided that he didn't do anything since the format)
    I dont think he needs the same amount of disk space on another drive or a partition , and i guess he cud just unformat the whole partition thru sm s/w like Partion Magic, I hav seen such a feature in sm s/w............. m8 be Partition Magic.... :D

    I think that's if you lost a partition (i.e. partition table entries). That has happened to me once, and using Disk Director, I could recover the whole partition.

    But if you formatted a partition, the files are equivalent to been deleted (but in mass scale), you still need another partition to recover those files to. This might not be 100% accurate info, but this is what I understand logically.

    Hmm... yeah might be....

    I also lost partition table entries once :D tried a lot of stuff, finally ran the Disk Doctor tool on the autoplay of Norton Systemworks CD, that's it ;)

    Couple of days ago, I lost some of my files because of a stupid mistake. I stopped everything I was doing, to prevent overwriting those files. Then I installed O&O UnErase and tried to recover them. It couldn't recover all of them. :oo: Well, I couldn't do that anyway because I didn't have enough space in other partitions.

    Deleting a file (file A) doesn't zero the bits on disk corresponding to A. It only removes the connection with the file allocation table. If the connection can be restored, A can be recovered, provided that the bits of A are not replaced by bit of a new file/files, which was/were copied to that partition after deleting A.

    Hope you understood that :D

    The ones I checked seems to be recovering to another partition or even another drive. They don't seem to be capable of restoring, not recovering a formatted partition/drive.

    Where I'm now
    I'll tell u a way to do.This needs a good memory of the past and lots of patience and hope.
    remove every task frm ur HDD which lost data(i.e. pagefile)
    U hav to remember the partition sizes u had b4 exactly.and the partition FS es.Usually this comes NTFS.(If its FAT we r lucky.FAT has less security--->easy to recover)
    Format ur HDD with the exact primary,secondry partitions with exact sizes and FSes.
    Now u hav to use a recovery software.I recommend mostly Get Data Back by Runtimesoftware.Its 2.14 NTFS is available with crack.Get it frm a warez site.Usually other softwares didnt supported for this trick while I tried.If u like try them too.
    Plugin a extra HDDS,Flash drives to make space for the largest partition to recover.
    Start recovering.This will take some time.But dont worry.98% of files will be recovered correctly.In your case If done correctly It will be 490GB.

    If u dont set the partition sizes correctly still some data would be recovered.But will loose the Files which had their IDs on the lost clusters frm the partition.But still u can get about 100GB data.

    Hope u will recover ur files anyhow.Best of luck.
    U can do it 2morrow coz from 6.05 u dont hav to do anywork ne.
