Need to recover files on FAT16?

[florence717]

Hi people, I have a system that has FAT16 file system on it. I have that file system on that for some reason so I don’t need to upgrade on that….but recently I had some files deleted and now I need to get them back. They are important for my official use and hold great importance. I know that there is software for recovery but since I have a FAT16 file system I guess that all won’t work on that.

Maybe someone will have a free option....If not heres one option that you can try.....select the FAT version
GetDataBack http://www.runtime.org/

not free but Magic Recovery Pro might work.

RE:Need to recover files on FAT16!!

This is now a bit problem….since you are using an older file system I guess you are right…everything wont go on this one. But, I hope that you have tried some….before going on the hunt for a new one. In our office we Recover Lost Files by a software that supports FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT 32, NTFS and NTFSS file systems. This one really works well and is simple to manage…..you don’t need to be an expert for that. This will be handy in solving your problem.

Hope this will get the data back!!!!

If you can get hold of this CD...

(look for it on Torrents and the News Servers)

There is a tool on there called GetDataBack. I am positive it will help you!

I have used the NTFS version and they also have a FAT version on there.

If you cannot get it back with that tool, then nothing will.
