Hi Martin, I'm not sure if the program is accessible but this program is good at recovering files (and it's free) - http://www.piriform.com/recuva Although if you reinstalled your operating system over the same drive you are trying to recover files from then I doubt they can be recovered now. I would replace the drive if you are still using the faulty drive as it is likely that the drive will fail again very soon and stop working completely. Try running recuva on the drive anyway - if there's anything there still it will find it. If you are using a different drive now in your computer but still have the old drive, then you need to connect it to your computer as a secondary drive. The easiest way to do this is using an external usb drive enclosure - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_12?url=search-alias%3Daps <http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_12?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-ke ywords=hard+drive+enclosure&x=0&y=0&sprefix=hard+drive+e> &field-keywords=hard+drive+enclosure&x=0&y=0&sprefix=hard+drive+e Put the faulty drive in the enclosure, boot up the PC with the enclosure attached via USB and it will show up in my computer as removable storage. Use recuva to scan the USB drive and see what files it finds :) Hope this helps.

Hi. okay. i am a blind computing student. i use the jaws for windows screen reader software. from http://www.freedomscientific.com <mhtml:{4DCB9095-E5FA-4455-A328-2B372E08F438}mid://00000017/!x-usc:http://ww w.freedomscientific.com/> well this is what i did on febuary 4. i was uninstalling sql server, as was having a problem. as i am doing a star trek application using visual web developer and sql server. a blind friend programmer who was helping me out. said i needed to stop all administrator services. so had accidently turned off system restore, turned it back on. i have a toshiba satellite a300 psagra 48056630Q model. now, selected my s c: drive. and not the toshiba hidden volume. selected a time back the previous day. clicked next, and system restore. jaws speaks all text on the screen and i use the keyboard to navigate. using windows vista home premium. 2 gb ram, 2.1 ghz processor, 250 gb hard disk, ati radium card, real tech audio manager, jaws 11.0.756u. Now heard a clunk, clunk sound. when i rebooted the machine. and the next day my dad read what was on screen. said the hard disk particion corrupted. so had to reset it back to factory default. did not have a external hard disk. i do now. but have lost all my important documents, college projects, contacts,music, etc. so is there any way to get the data back. have been installing and uninstalling software. i had the music in the music folder under Marvin. and my main folder was called c:\Docs. where i had a lot of folders, Marvins Web Site, Tafe, etc. current articles, Star Trek Project, Test Site for visual web developer. Mingw, a c++ application. I cannot be with out my laptop. Hoping to start online learning, also seeking employment and looking for employment. This is my main machine for information, projects, and entertainment. Like listening to sport on radio stations on the net, getting information, listening to pod casts about blindness,adaptive technology, etc. So if you can help me out. would like to do it my self if possible. So any software. tried 2 or 3, demo versions, but not either accessible. Or the trial version would let me preview files, but not recover, unless i purchased the full version. I do not have a credit card. So can you help me. cannot be without my machine. Was working on updating a few student web projects. Lost Them all. Or because i have installed, uninstalled, and written to the hard disk. is it gone forever? Marvin. ps: Have got a external hard disk now and do regular backups.
