Quicken 6

[cabman2323]

How can I recover *.QDB and *.QDT files. They are extension for Quicken Deluxe Version 6. I know its an old software but my wife loves it.

I accidentally reformatted the HD that all her files where on. I was able to recover everything expect the Quicken extension.

Thanks,

If you run a fast format recover and search for the default file types only, you should file all files listed in "Folder View" of the results screen, including your Quicken files.

I did a Fast Format Recover and tried both the logical drive and the physical one and it did not give me anything except the picture I attach.

In each RP directory there is either RestorePointSize or change.log. Some directories have both.

I already did a complete format recover but it did not get the quicken 6 files

Thanks,

Please try running a "Complete File Search" specifically for the Quciken and Quick Books file types.

Will it find the extensions *.QDB and *.QDT files?

The ones listed is .qdf which is the never format for Quicken.


I am using software that is at least 6 yrs old and the extensions are different.



Thanks!

It may find the files and is worth a try.

The problem did not recover the two extensions I needed: *.QDB and *.QDT.

Any other ideas? Is there a way I can add those to the search string by command line???

Thanks!

We will need to reverse engineer the file structure. We will need 3 different samples of each specific file type. Do you have these?

[cabman2323]

I can reload the application and create them for you.

Thanks.

Here is 3 examples that are zipped.

When I create a new quicken app, it generated 4 files.

*.QDB, *.QEL, *.QMD and *.QSD

I hope this is what you wanted. If not let me know exactly what you need from me.

Thanks,
