is there a program out there that will let me retrieve files from my hard drive after i have installed an os? i didn't back up and now i would like to retrieve some vacation pictures off of the hard drive the pics are on.
It depends on your situation. 1.we don't know if this is a dual boot pc with 2 os's 2.we don't know if you uninstalled your current os and just replaced it with a new one,and how you did it(most give you choices when uninstalling like a partition,full reformat,save my docs etc). 3.If this is a usb hdd. etc. In most cases no, there is no way if you did a full uninstall then it wiped the hdd clean of all files.
it is possible as did that when ghosted an empty hd onto a data hd instead of vice versa. got a program of a friend to do that after downloading trial version that saw the info but won't retrieve without paying for it. try these links. http://www.ontrack.com/freesoftware/ http://www.z-a-recovery.com/download.htm http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html http://www.easeus.com/ http://www.ntfs.com/products.htm http://www.flashfixers.com/ http://www.pcinspector.de/download.asp?language=1#file_recovery
