Anyone help me on this one and I am forever greatful! I installed "Windows Media Center Edition" with service pack two.


    Thanks

    If you installed Windows, the files in the space ocuppied by the installation aren't possible to recover i think. Only sections where new files weren't recorded...

    I am trying different softwares and it's ok so far. No breakthrough yet but the more I try the closer I get. If the governmant can see your files after they are formated I am sure we can also. I just need to find the right software to dig deep!

    Will keep you informed tho!

    http://www.getdata.com/ is the best i tryed out of almost all known recovery software, since most of people here only know what they heard is the best, i tryed most of them, cause i had your problem 2 times. You will have it hard to recover files after you formated or if you copied anything on the disk since than. You have to know that lots of recovery software find all the files but they fail to recover usefull, not corrupted files. Don't ever recover files on same disk.
