Bye Bye Files… Or Not

Posted by Paul to Random

So I went on a deleting spree trying to save some space. Who would have thought that I would have to do that with a terabyte of storage space?

After going through everything and removing unused images (porn), movies (more porn), and old documents (lists of the porn I have), I found that I accidentally deleted a few really important files (not porn). I really needed them back so I went looking about at what I could find for file recovery.

I cam across this file recovery software by Active@ File Recovery. It of course promised to be able to recover my files. I downloaded it and was a little bummed that I could only recover a file if it was under 65k. Pretty much everything I lost was over that so I was slightly miffed at having to buy it upfront. Anyways, I tried it and it worked very well. I recovered the files and there wasn’t any corruption with them at all. It was just like when I had them (sweet). A really neat feature was the preview so you can check to make sure its the right file (super sweet).

The program itself was pretty much self explanatory and easy to use. Even thought I am a more savvy user than most normal people I still appreciate the ease of use of things. The standard version is about $30, but the professional version, which is $45, comes with partition recovery software which may be handy as I have a fair amount of partitioned drives. Either way the file recovery software is worth the price of it.

They have a file recover service they provide through the internet but I haven’t tried it yet as I have not had much luck with Active X lately. So if you are in a hurry you can try that out; if you do post a comment and let us know how it went.

Oh, and if you were wondering about the files I accidentally deleted, well… you can just keep wondering. That is my business. :)

-Cheers
