Re: Oh Noes! My files!111
My external hd crashed the other day, I lost lots of stuff too. had 150 gigs of files on that drive.
Been able to recover what's really important using this (take a look here).
I searched the physical drive, ran an excessive search after both lost and deleted files and a lot of it turned up. Just make sure you use the ntfs version if you had an ntfs partition, and the FAT version if you had a fat 32 partition.

Thank me if it works for you :unsure:
Btw, just deleting stuff shouldn't take it off your hd, physically speaking.
It's just that the file table doesn't know it's there. Assuming you don't have some sort of program that overwrites things a few times when you delete them.
Be careful with any drives you've accidentally deleted stuff off, tho'. If you defrag them, or move files onto them, any recoveries will be made a lot harder, 'cos the new stuff/the stuff the defragging moves around will get written on top of bits of the old.
Oh yeah, and if you can get a hold of 3.01, instead of 2.25, or whatever's in that torrent, go for that, 'cos it pwns.

That's probably because the mroe you write and delete from that drive the less chance it has of finding the stuf you want.;)
Re: Oh Noes! My files!111
That is a problem :dabs:
Can you borrow loobi's 'puter, maybe?
If you've got different partitions, it should be ok, just don't install on the same partition you had the files on.
Re: Oh Noes! My files!111
meh, this is getting to be too much work, think i'll just leave it :dabs:
...there's an old 10gig HD in my desk drawer, but as I said, meh :dabs:
edit: just the one partition atm, got rid of two a few weeks back :dabs:
