Lost Partition - HELP!!!
« on: July 07, 2011, 23:28 »
I've done a really bad thing... I've accidentally deleted a partition on a backup external hard drive.  These are someone else's photos, music, etc.  Is there any way I can recover these files?

Recuva is very good for that kind of thing.  Good luck, Simon!   ;)

Thanks Rod.  It's extraordinary how involuntarily active the bowels become, when that sort of thing happens.

It would have been twitching like a rabbit's nose, I expect.   :laugh:

If you're planning on selling the photos to NOTW you'd better hurry Simon  ;D

Lol!  I haven't looked!   I've got the data back, but haven't reinstalled Windows yet.  That'll be this evening, or over the weekend.

Poxy Dell!!  I have a brand new Windows XP CD, with SP3 included, and it won't let me install it because the (original) product key won't work.  I'm guessing it's a Dell coded key.   :dunno:
