Please hear me out, I desperately need help. When reformatting my C drive, my computer froze. When it booted back up again, it continued the restore, however, it erased my D drive instead, with all my digital pictures. I believe these pictures were the first to go on when I installed the D drive. Then, I made a huge mistake; I place about 10 gigs of other files into the D drive. This was all before I found out about data recovery using programs such as GetDataBack, and Ontrack. Is it possible to recover these files that I believe to be at the beginning of the drive, even if I placed files in it after the restore? Or maybe there saved as some other weird format (supposed to be JPEG). Those two programs I used, I believe, only restored recent digital pictures. I really need those pictures back because there irreplaceable. Thanks guys in advance.
you should be able to get info back as i had to get the info that was overwritten using the ontrack pro($1400) http://www.ontrack.com/freesoftware/ http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html http://www.easeus.com/ http://www.ntfs.com/products.htm http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000840067578/
