Data Recovery from format

[James S]

I am in desperate need of a good data recovery from format program. Anyone have suggestions?

<a href="http://www.runtime.org/gdb.htm">r-Studio</a>

or

R-studio seems to be able to get most of my files, Thanks.

Now I just have to look through a trillion randomly numbered files because 90% of the filenames didn't make it

Sucky. I've had to do that before.

How'd the accidental format happen?

I put in a recovery disc thinking it was a boot disk and without prompting me it formatted my harddrive immediately. I hate Windows.

Exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago.

BAHAHAHA! err...I mean, that sucks.

I rebooted my media server after installing Vista and got a POST error that said

"RAID ARRAY 01...........STATUS.......FAILED"

That was fun...I almost soiled myself. Thankfully I managed to recover.
