1% formatted external

[tcjewell]

HI!

Windows XP was acting retarded, so I decided to format - unknowingly, I had my 750GB external HD attached (which contained all of my music [about 20k songs] and all of my photos/movies... and of course Windows decided to start formatting this instead. Luckily, I stopped the format right as it got to 1%.

I stuck the cord back in and got the "this hard drive is not formatted" error message.

So I read the stickies, downloaded your program, and now I'm doing a complete file find. The search has been going on for 9 hours and 3 minutes and looks like it not even 10% done. Is there a quicker way to get my files back or should I just endure through this?

Thanks!

Hi,

I suggest you stop the current search and save any valuable files.

Then follow these instructions: http://forums.getdata.com/computer-d...ard-drive.html and you should have your files back within a few hours with their full file and folder structure.

Good luck.

Thank you.

I'm in the process of purchasing your software.

Thanks,

Tom

ETA: Is there any way to recover an old search? My computer restarted out of nowhere, and I lost those search results.

It is not currently possible to save and reload search results. This will be a new feature in Version 4 when it comes out.
