I'm glad it worked so well for you. It would be helpful if you posted screen shots and walked people through how you did this “Recovery”. I used it on my Mac, and it did not work so well. I ended up having to use their other tool, PhotoRec, to get all my files back, and then use pdisk (the disk partition utility in Terminal on the Mac) to re-initialize the partition table and then I reinstalled everything from scratch… Such a shame, but at least I got most of my files back. Unfortunately, some of them are broken up into chunks, I wonder if I can just use the copy command to merge them back together.

I face the same problems sometimes too. What I did is to run my computer through a computer check up and it was all fixed. If you are interested you can also do the same through Data Recovery Services offers by stellar.

Yes I am agree that TestDisk has features for both novices and experts. Its a user friendly tool. I have used Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software to recover my corrupted files . It is also a user friendly and pocket friendly product.

Hey – I'm glad I could help you test a new tool – ha ha ha! Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments – I was a little thrown at first by your user name. Clever! A little birdie tells me you can get a fab deal on a new computer. I would greatly appreciate your help in this area. Let me know what info you need from me! BTW, I passed your blog on to a friend or two.
