Data recovery software?

[Mitch656]

Hi,
Does anyone know any good data recovery software that is free?

My sisters external drive failed, and when i plug it directly into my PC i ran check disk, and i fixed the drive and put all her files in a hidden folder in a .chk format.

I found a software, that recovered some stuff, but it was far to slow and was just looking for JPG files when all she really need is her .docx files

Run PhotoRec in TestDisk TestDisk - CGSecurity

PhotoRec Step By Step - CGSecurity

When it comes to File Format selection, select docx and any other formats you want to recover.

So I ended up using recuva, and recover the .docx files will get the JPEG later.


It seems that some .doc file didn't quite transfer correctly/are still corrupt.

Are they long gone or is there something else I could try and do.

The main thing is not to get a Trojan infection through an update. Sometimes this happens because of inattention. After such an infection, a friend of mine had to recover his data on his hard drive. He wanted to try to fix the problem himself. I talked him out of it, advising him to trust the experts. My friend found this information on the internet and decided to contact salvagedata. They offered a free diagnostic of the drive and a solution to the problem. Now hackers use various techniques to hack personal data, and any update can pick up the problem.
