Search and Recover

I bought a program Iolo Search and Recover but I can not figure out how it works it will only recover bits and pieces of my stuff

Can you post a screen shot of your disk management. Press Prnt Scrn, then open paint, and hit paste. You can then save the file and upload it for use to look at. Seeing it for ourselves might put us on the right track for helping you.

 

[Thorsen]

It should be able to work on this formatted drive, but I haven't used this product. You might be able to call their technical support.

Here is all I can find on it.

[dmcouch1975]

[Petey7]

Okay, let me check to make sure I understand the problem. You can see it in Disk Management, but it says it RAW, and you can't see it in My Computer. Correct?

 

[dmcouch1975]

my computer

no I can see it but if I click on it it asks me if I want to format it

 

[Petey7]

What options do you get if you right click it?

 

[Thorsen]

I don't know if formatting back to NTFS will make data none recoverable. I would not want to risk that. I am looking for more info, but I don't know what will happen with it.

It could be recovered, but not easily. I'm wondering if using an external enclosure would make a difference in what is seen. What do you think?

 

[dmcouch1975]

open, explore, search, format, copy, create shortcut, rename and properties

 

[Petey7]

Nothing new. Do you see anything weird under Properties. I'm guessing pressing open gives the same result as before.

 

[dmcouch1975]

no nothing weird and asks to format when click open or explore

 

[Thorsen]

yeah I was thinking that too. I dont know if a USB linked enclosure would be any better...

I was thinking, but didn't want to suggest taking to store yet if it can be recovered here, but a Computer Repair Shop would probably be able to restore it.

 

[dmcouch1975]

yeah for $75 already spent $40 on program

 

[Petey7]

What program did you spend $45 on? I've heard of a lot of weird problems binge solved be using an external enclosure. They seem to be $20-40 on newegg. A cheap one would suffice.
