Speed of Recovery

[gazzab]

Hi - so pleased to find this app !
I have a 455 gb drive that I am trying to recover data from.
I have selected the recover from a reformatted disk as I think that is prob best. I seem to be about a 10th of the way through and it has taken 4 hrs so far!
Is there a quicker way????
I am after vid, photo, email, word and excel file recovery.
The reason I lost the data was that a trojan file caused Vista to crash. I then had to reload vista which has lost all my files. So I hope I can recover them all. I have a lot backed up but I havent backed up for 6 months (oops).
So far it is finding a lot of my files, so fingers crossed...
Any tips on speeding it up?? Should I stop and restart with a simpler scan?
thanks
Gary

Hi Gary,

Usually the fastest way to recover a formatted drive is to follow these instructions: http://forums.getdata.com/computer-d...ard-drive.html

Doh!
I should read instructions !! Just pressed stop after 9 hrs ! The o/s was pretty constant and high. So now hopefully it is building up my old folder structure...
