Recover Data Files, Unerase Files

I had my jump drive in my coat pocket and slammed my car door on it. I have everything on the drive, is there any way to recover the data?

I used a data recovery program to recover lost images from my digital camera. Unfortunately some of them came out grey. Meaning, when I look at the picture as a thumbnail, I can see the entire picture, but when I open the image, a large portion of it completely greyed out. Any idea of how I can fix these images? I’ve tried recovering them twice and both times the same images came out damaged.

Please share price, websites, names and contact info. for recovering data from a damaged Hard Disk Drive.

Hello, I have had the unfortunate experience of having my relatively new MacBook laptop crash. I heard terrible noises right before the horror of it all…a grayish blank screen containing one small file folder in the center and a flashing question mark. I have already spent 8 hours reading every computer blog including Mac’s own tech support website. I don’t want to pay the $1.000’s for professional data recovery and thought that someone might have an answer from personal experience with the same problem. Thank You!

I have new HDD. Only 4 months ago when I bought Seagate Barracuda 7200.11. Suddenly it can’t boot up. It says “Disk read error”. Before it happens, the HDD made squeaky noise, not often, but unusual, and took unusually longer time to read/write or access than normally it does. Then I used SeaTools software to check it for errors. It returned “write cache failed to write file X to disk”.
I suspect that the motor doesn’t run. If it indeed doesn’t rotate, is it possible to recover the data? Is there any cheap data recovery services in South East Asia area?
Is it possible to make it back to spin? Because, spending thousands of dollars is not that worth it.

i was using “partition magic”. I did some mistake and when i restarted my computer, all the songs in one drive were mixed together….means when i play a song it is not the same as it should b. It is some other song…or two songs mixed together…. Can i regain my original data?? plz tell me method…. System cannot b restored bcoz it gives error:”ur drive was off for some time si it’s data cannot b recovered”.

My mother dropped her laptop from a distance of about 1.5 feet while it was on, and the hard drive was idling (probably about 3k rpm). Windows Checkdisk found about a hundred unreadable data sectors, and she’s currently unable to load Windows–the screen goes black after choosing the startup method either way.

This tells me that the boot sector was physically damaged during the impact.

Is there a reasonable chance of recovering her documents? Would any of you know of a good program to recommend for this?

My computer was not starting so i took it to a local workshop
and told me that hard disk is damaged completely and no way can be recovered. I hear some companies can open it and recover data as possible, any help please?

thanks

i have a movie dvd which has some scratches and the movie gets stuck at a particular scene .is there any way i can recover the movie data from dvd

I have a 128MB jump drive with some VERY IMPORTANT information contained on it. The problem is that suddenly the computer can’t read it. And when it does the window that comes up to show you the files is all in jibberish. This is all work related and the person that took over my position dropped the drive sometime ago and it partially opened. I was able to get it closed back and working fine but it’s been a little “quirky” since then. I insisted to this new person that they needed to back up those files onto a new jump drive, but found out today when it wouldn’t work that they never had. Is there anything that I can do to recover this info now and move it to a new jump drive?

Serious responses only please.

Thanks! and God Bless!

I had Windows Vista installed on a partition of my hard drive and when I tried installing Ubuntu Linux on an unpartitioned part of the same hard drive, somehow all the partitions disapeared or became damaged. Linux installed fine but when I restarted for the first time, I got a Missing Operating System error message. I can’t find Ubuntu or Windows Vista.
How do I recover my important data from a hard drive with missing or damaged partitions?

I have a seagate ST3160245AS hard disk. Yesterday, while installing windows, i restarted the process in between, Now, no operating system is able to detect the disk (tried Linux, windows xp, vista and 98). The hard dist is being detected in the BIOS though. Tried using partition managers also (Norton and paragon). I have a lot of important data which i don’t want to lose.
Now, another disk is in the same condition. Both are SATA disks. Is there any way to get them to be recognized by windows xp?
