I just want to say, this piece of software is the best I have stumbled across.

Yesterday, I decided to destroy my accursed vista partition, and go back to XP (kubuntu is installed on the other partition).

Now, good ol windows as is the windows fashion decided, as I installed it, that it is the only, and "superior" OS on my machine, and therefore will not cater to any other, and immmeditaly trashed grub (as expected and prepered for).

But, then the raid controller software (for my sata hard drives), decided in XP, to reconfigure my one SATA hard drive (which contained 2 NTFS and 1 ext3 partition), into a big glob of nothingness.

Well, I cannot ever remember uttering so many 4 letter words in my life, 5 years of emails, documents, bookmarks, contacts (I am an idiot for not backing it up, I know, but lets concentrate on the story) and my wifes art portfolio, all up in random 1's and 0's.

So feverishly I looked for something to help, lots promised, none delivered. Till I stumbled upon r-studio's data recovery software (www.r-studio.com).

Well installed it, with not much hope in heart, and started it, and let me tell you 4 hours laters, and I have recovered 99% of my 80 gigs worth of data. I really was amazed, and as relieved as can possibly be.

So yes, that is my success story, and also my story of what I did for the entire day yesterday

Did you buy it because I see that the demo version can only recover files smaller than 64KB.

It's a long story but I thought the drive was just physically busted, so to just to settle it finally, I tried to format (quick - I always do quick) it and it proceeded.

Then I realized that the data on the drive could still have been saved if I hadn't formatted the damn thing. So now I'm looking for a program to recover the data.

Tuneuputilities2008, is it free and downloadable???

Tuneup only basically restores files which deleted from the Recycle Bin, I suggest you send the original poster a pm and ask him if you can borrow his r-studio for a little while, won't help looking for something free, because they don't work as well ;)

I think there are some good recovery software on Hiren's BootCD as well (not that I encourage piracy ;)) :confused:

I ... Ahhh ... I see. It's just that my track record with trying to get warez isn't that great. It's pathetic hey ... I lose at being a loser. Torr3nt5 is a bit too complex for me to manage.

To be honest I have no idea where you can get it, but I'm sure the friendly warez people will have it floating on BitTorrent or similar...

Picard - Try OnTrack. Does exacly what you need. It can even recover from an UNKNOWN type of formatted drive...love it to bits. I could upload it for you...as soon as WKJ?:beanie is looking away ;)

I thought I'd go and buy it sometime, as it's sotware I tend to use quite a bit and it'll be worth it etc etc. Check the price tag...

I just finished running the demo version of r-studio and it's BRILLIANT. I can see everything on the computer and I can also preview it. Unfortunately I just need the measily registration key (wink-wink:D)[r-studio 4.2) for me to save those files that are bigger than 65KB, which is practically all of them. I've already saved all the documents that are smaller than 65KB.
