Retrieve Deleted Files

[Filliz]

Can anyone reccommend me a good (preferably free) recovery tool to get back files i deleted?
I allready tried one a while ago but all the files it retrieved were kind of useless.
It recovered a whole bunch of files going back to 2001 but not one filename sounded familiar or was an actual image,audio or video file .So the one i've used wasn't really good i think.

Thanks

Did you try Restoration?

i think that's the one i tried because the screenshot looks kinda familiar.
But then again,they all might look the same
I'll download it anyway and see if i have more luck in retrieving files this time.

In the mean time any other recovery tools are still welcome

you think?
maybe not a bad idea,no.
While i&#39;m at it i might as well make a back up first.
never did that actually

have you tried windows own system restore

here is a list of monitored file extensions

system restore won&#39;t be much good.
It&#39;s a couple of .avi files i need to get back and i don&#39;t see it in that list
Anyway,i tried Restoration but that didn&#39;t find them
Looks like i lost them

This is the one I use...

http://www.file-recovery.net/

But no program is going to be able to fully recover files you deleted that long ago. Eventually too much of the data is destroyed.

Could give it a go with file-recovery.
The files weren&#39;t deleted that long ago.
Last time I saw them was 2-3 weeks ago
&#39;Restoration&#39; came up with nothing eventhough it was able to recover avi files of over a year old
The files i want back weren&#39;t corrupted last time i checked them if that could be a reason why they didn&#39;t show up in the recovery search,and i&#39;m pretty sure i didn&#39;t misplace them.
