For any information lost I would recommend Piriform Recuva it is free and can recover lost files after disc crashes, formatting and even damaged disks.My other computer had virus, crashed and was formatted but I managed to recover even files deleted from 2002.Just remember to set option to search for files lost during crash or deep scan.Can search results by typing file extension like .html, .exe, .doc or set display on tree look for searching all files deleted form same folder.It is really fantastic and if you will ever need to recover something would recommend it. http://www.piriform.com/recuva | Hello! |
