ashfox Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I was trying to speed up my pc the other day by unistalling some programs that i dont use anymore and i accidently unistalled bitcomet. all my downloads were contained within my bitcomet folder so i have lost everything!!!!!!!!! Ive lost gigabytes of data including all of the stargate sg1 and atlantis series which took ages to download!! If anyone knows of a way to retrieve deleted data please let me know.

ank329 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 There are a bunch of programs that can undelete your files. I've personally used Recover my Files, and it worked like a charm when I used it. Somehow I managed to get a virus that very selectivly deleted the single most important data folder on my hard drive, it had all my files for all my classes that semester, and left everything else alone...

Guest c4evap Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I lost a ton of stuff and retreived it by using Ontrack EasyRecoveryâ„¢ DataRecovery Professional. Got 3/4 of it back intact. Better than nothing. Here's a link to some torrents on IsoHunt. Here's a link to the Ontrack website and more info. Hope this helps. c4 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashfox Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 does anyone know if you can retrieve data that you have deleted if you have defragmented that harddrive? does it affect the retrieval process in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyran Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 you can try it would depend on how much space on the harddrive and how much was used for the defrag if you had lots of space then it's worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ank329 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 does anyone know if you can retrieve data that you have deleted if you have defragmented that harddrive? does it affect the retrieval process in any way? Its might be a lot harder if you defragmented the hard drive after deleting the files. While the defrag process was going on, it might have overwritten the deleted data when it was moving files around. if that happened, you won't be able to get them back. There is no harm in trying though. Good luck with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteShdw Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I tried an 'undelete' utility for a folder I had just deleted a few minutes before, but it didn't come up. It seems really hit and miss. Does anyone know of any good 'data recovery' programs that can run in Windows (not a BootCD) and recover deleted data?

I have XP home edition and it works fine on Windows. I have only tried the program once quickly but it seemed to recover a lot of data. It has also got a built in wizard that asks you what you want to do and then does it for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my post above regarding Ontrack EasyRecoveryâ„¢ DataRecovery Professional. I lost a ton of stuff and used this program in Windows and retrieved over 2/3.

bbbb Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I use BitTornado as my client and I find it to be perfect for downloading torrents, so long as it isn't multiple torrents at the same time. I highly recommend in the future that you download your files to a different folder other than BitComet or any other program, that way if you do lose the program you won't lose your files. It's like when you have two hard drives, why render your coveted files more vulnerable, much better to put them on the other drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
