manxinahat22 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Ok, so I wrote a paper and saved it to my documents a couple of months ago. I deleted it thinking I didn't need it, and now, I need it! The recycle bin has been emptied a long time since then...So I thought maybe I could do a system restore to the date of the paper. Nothing! I've tried several programs like "restoration" and "un-delete." What else can I do? I really really really need that file! help!! Share this post Link to post
American Zombie 0 Posted December 6, 2005 I have heard GetDataBack works when other recovery software will not. Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted December 6, 2005 Because the deletion is so old, the data just might not be there any longer. If American Zombie's program can't bring it back, you might try Winhex which is a hex editor. It there are traces on your disk of portions of your text, and while this method is tedious, you might find something. Share this post Link to post
peterh 1 Posted December 7, 2005 Please note that System Restore is nothing to do with documents, its more to do with restoring Drivers, OS Files and programs. To restore documents, you restore from a backup using NTBackup or other 3rd party programs. Really, you should do regular backups of your documents to prevent things like this happening!

yutao 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Hello, [censored] DataRecoveryWizard utility can help. Speaking about me, it was easily able to restore deleted, lost file and unformat drive, so I think you will also find it quite useful. Really recommended tool, give it a try. http://www.[censored].com/ Share this post Link to post
